Friday, November 18th, the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers meet for the second of four occasions this season. The Bucks won the initial match 90-88 on October 20th. Milwaukee will host the next two meetings on March 4th and April 2nd.
Milwaukee last played Wednesday defeating the Cavaliers 113-98. In an oddity, the 76ers will have the huge rest advantage with the Bucks playing two games while Philly sits waiting having last played Sunday in a 105-97 win versus the Jazz.
Last season the clubs played three times with Milwaukee taking two of the three games. The Bucks hold the all-time record having bested the 76ers in 117 of their 220 matches
Milwaukee Bucks
Despite the odd starting lineup that featured Jevon Carter and Marjon Beauchamp the Bucks easily dispensed of the Cavaliers handing them their fifth straight loss.
Giannis Antetokounmpo collected a double-double (16 points, 12 rebounds plus eight assists) but it was the performance of Brook Lopez who registered 29 points and hit seven of his nine 3-pointers that stood out.
Offensively, the Bucks score 111.6 points per game (17th) while shooting 44.1% from the field (28th), and 34.3% from the perimeter (22nd).
Defensively, the Bucks hold opponents to the second-lowest point total (106.4) per game.
Milwaukee ranks first in opponent field goal percentage limiting them to 43.9 percent. The Bucks rank 11th (tied with Blazers/Clippers) for opponent perimeter percentage limiting foes to 35.1 percent.
Jrue Holiday (ankle), Wesley Matthews (hamstring), Grayson Allen (ankle), Pat Connaughton (calf) are all questionable for Friday. Khris Middleton (wrist) and Joe Ingles (knee) are out indefinitely.
Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid put on a show Sunday scoring 59 points with 11 rebounds, eight assists, and seven blocks — AND he did it all in under 37 minutes.
And yet, the game never felt like it was out of reach for the Jazz. It highlights how beyond Embiid how the 76ers struggle to score. To wit, the 76ers score 108.5 points per game ranking 29th overall.
Philly shoots 46.8% from the field ranking 16th, and 36.5% from the perimeter ranking 12th.
Defensively, the 76ers sit just behind the Bucks in third allowing opponents 106.5 points per game. Philly limits opponents to 46.2 field goal percent (13th) and owns the top opponent perimeter percentage limiting foes to 31.5%.
Furkan Korkmaz (knee) and Matisse Thybulle (ankle) are both questionable for Friday. James Harden (foot) is out indefinitely.

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA Prediction:
Normally, we’d be considering this a preview of the potential Eastern Conference Finals but even if the teams were to be the last two standing neither club will resemble who’ll be on the court based on the numerous injuries.
It will be compelling to get a peek at how Doc Rivers and Mike Budenholzer try to stop each other’s superstar. Embiid has been on fire finally appearing to be fit (in fairness he was dealing with plantar fasciitis so couldn’t do the normal offseason conditioning prep).
Antetokounmpo has looked unstoppable on the court and very chill off the court — and giving major ‘we’re winning the title’ vibes.
With both teams excelling defensively there’s a good chance neither team hits the century mark and perhaps that’s why as of posting the total has yet to be provided by the oddsmakers (since updated per above)
Even though the Bucks could be missing more of their core I’m leaning toward the Bucks. Giannis seems to cherry-pick which teams he sends a message to (and I’m thinking this will be one he’s earmarked).
