Milwaukee at Philadelphia

Milwaukee was a great team at home last season but just 18-22 on the road. The playoff injury to star Giannis Antetokounmpo exposed the team's lack of depth. They didn't do much in the offseason to address those issues because of the salary cap. The defense was 21st in points given up and 14th in field goal shooting allowed. Philadelphia opens the new season at home where they were 25-16 last year. The 76ers added Andre Drummond up front which helps here as Joel Embiid (knee) will sit this week. They were ninth defensively in points given up, 11th in field goal shooting allowed, and sixth at defending beyond the arc. Philadelphia is on a 13-4 spread run, so back home court. Play Philadelphia.
