The Milwaukee Bucks have probably been beset by more injuries than any team in the NBA over the last couple seasons. They are healthy to start the season and are off to a 3-2 start. They have shown the offensive firepower to compete here vs. the defensive-minded Sixers. Phlly has won three straight on the road after suffering back-to-back defeats to the Knicks. The Bucks have shot nearly 50% in their two road wins and Monta Ellis has been on fire. They have done well despite the fact that Ersan Ilyasora, who connected on over 45% from deep a year ago, is just 5-17 so far this season. So, the ceiling is a bit higher than what we have seen. Philadelphia is having trouble scoring this season, hitting just 41.3% from the field. Under head coach Scott Skiles, the Bucks are 23-8 straight-up vs. poor shooting teams (those making under 44% from the field). The Sixers haven't topped the 95 point mark in the last ten meetings and with the Bucks showing an offensive inclination, they are poised to steal one here. Play on Milwaukee on the moneyline.
