Once upon a time, the Bucks were the hottest brand in NBA betting. Milwaukee paid as reliably as Social Security. Eventually, such profitability can’t last. Linemakers get the line set where it should be. Public money floods in to drain value. And then other teams improve and catch up. Philadelphia is one such club. Indeed, the 76ers are the new power of the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia owns the depth that Milwaukee used to have. The Bucks are too reliant upon Giannis Antetokounmpo. It is true that the Greek Freak saved the franchise. But that he rarely gets enough help.

To begin with, gamblers are adjusting to the new online sportsbook dynamics of both teams. Milwaukee has consistently burned gamblers to the point of driving them away. While the 76ers are operating in the black this campaign. Philadelphia is going to emerge as an overlay soon. Too much public attention is on them. Concurrently that’s what happened to the Bucks. Milwaukee is irritating gamblers by the day. The well has run dry.
Sixers Hold Eastern Conference Lead
Philadelphia has a betting on NBA record of 39-17 straight up, 30-24-2 against the spread, and 26-30 under the total. Owing to just two payouts in their last five games.

Overall, NBA metrics show the Bucks 1st for scoring offense but 19th for points allowed. Past Milwaukee teams had strong defenses to complement their scoring ability.
