Philadelphia 76ers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 12/5/25, 4:46 PM  by Lou Aguila in NBA Picks

Fresh off a close win over the Golden State Warriors, the Philadelphia 76ers are listed at -120 moneyline for their match against the Giannis-less Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum.

Current Form:

The Sixers have won their last two games and three of their last four to keep their record three games above .500 at 12-9. In their recent win over the Warriors, 99-98, Tyrese Maxey scored 35 points and made the late block that sealed the win for Philadelphia. VJ Edgecombe scored only 10 points, but he made the go-ahead basket with 0.9 ticks left on the clock. Despite missing stars Paul George and Joel Embiid, the Sixers have stayed competitive in the East behind the leadership of Maxey and production from their supporting players like Edgecombe and Quentin Grimes.

Meanwhile, the Bucks will have to figure out how to win games without Giannis Antetokounmpo for at least two weeks after their superstar sustained a calf injury in Milwaukee’s 113-109 win over the Pistons. Antetokounmpo, who leads the team in points (28.9 ppg), rebounds (10.1 rpg), and (6.1 apg), played only two minutes before hurting his calf in a non-contact play. Without the two-time MVP, the Bucks will be relying on Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins to lead the charge on the offensive end.
