Philadelphia 76ers vs. Milwaukee Bucks, 02/25/2024

The 76ers (33-23) face the Milwaukee Bucks (36-21) in their next game, a Sunday matinee in Philadelphia.

The contest is a battle of top-six offenses and marks the second game in the season series after the Bucks escaped with a 118-117 opening-night victory on Oct. 26 in Milwaukee. First-year Buck Damian Lillard scored a game-high 39 points (17-17 ft), while Tyrese Maxey countered with 31 points and a game-high eight assists. Kelly Oubre Jr. poured in 27 points (9-11 fg, 5-6 3fg, 4-4 ft) off the bench in his Sixers’ debut.

The final game between the Sixers and Bucks this regular season will be March 14 in Wisconsin.

On the second night of a back-to-back after hosting the Knicks, the Sixers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday by a final score of 104-97 to take a 2-1 lead in that season series.

“In the end, it’s super important,” 76ers Head Coach Nick Nurse said of the bounce-back victory. “I think we talked about it before the game that we were more measuring our ability to do that today versus who we’re playing. You can tell right from the start that there was a whole lot more pop, physicality, just chasing the ball and the glass better. Better contesting, better sharing, all that stuff.”

Maxey matched Cleveland’s Jarrett Allen with a game-high 24 points for the Sixers.

76ERS-BUCKS INJURY REPORT

De’Anthony Melton (back) returned to the 76ers’ lineup Friday for the first time since Jan. 12.

Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) remain out, while KJ Martin (right ankle impingement) is probable.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (right knee patellar tendinitis) is probable for the Bucks. Khris Middleton (left ankle sprain) remains out.

The Bucks (36-21) picked up a 112-107 road win over the first-place Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday in their first game after the All-Star break. Milwaukee trailed 57-51 at halftime, before winning the third quarter 36-13 and being outscored 37-25 in the fourth.

Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a game-high 33 points (9-13 fg, 1-1 3fg, 14-21 ft) with 13 rebounds and five assists in a game-high 41 minutes. Damian Lillard – who earned NBA All-Star MVP honors last Sunday – tallied 21 points (8-23 fg, 2-8 3fg, 3-4 ft), nine rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and a block in 38 minutes.

Antetokounmpo averages a team-high 30.8 points and 11.3 rebounds, plus 6.4 assists per game. Lillard averages 24.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and a team-leading 6.8 assists per contest.

Milwaukee hired former 76ers head coach Doc Rivers as their new head coach on Jan. 26. The Sixers acquired Cam Payne and a 2027 second-round pick from the Bucks in exchange for Patrick Beverley at the Feb. 8 trade deadline.

FRIDAY’S TOP PERFORMANCES

Maxey scored 15 of his 24 points (9-22 fg, 2-5 3fg, 4-4 ft) in the fourth quarter of the win over the Cavs. His final line also included seven rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 38 minutes.

Harris shot 6-for-14 from the field, 1-for-2 from 3-point range, and made both of his free throws on a 15-point, nine-rebound night. He added four assists and two steals in 34 minutes.

In 20 minutes off the Sixers’ bench, Payne sparked the club with 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting, including a 4-for-6 effort from beyond the arc.

Hield knocked down three of his six 3-point attempts and finished with 13 points (5-9 fg, 3-6 3fg) and five rebounds in 32 minutes as a starter.

In 28 minutes as a starter against Cleveland, Oubre Jr. added 10 points (4-9 fg, 1-3 3fg, 1-2 ft) and five rebounds.

Buddy Hield on “weathering the storm” with Joel Embiid out…

“We’re all we’ve got right now. We’ve got to be tough. We’ve got to come together even more, and find ways to get wins.”

Sunday afternoon’s game is a 1 p.m. ET start in South Philadelphia.

The home Sixers will wear their white Association Edition uniforms and the Bucks will be in their black Statement Edition uniforms.

Milwaukee Bucks injury report: Is Giannis playing tonight vs. Celtics?

Milwaukee Bucks injury report: Is Giannis playing tonight vs. Celtics?

The Milwaukee Bucks host the Boston Celtics at Fiserv Forum just over 24 hours after one of their most disappointing losses of the season, when they scored just eight fourth-quarter points and gave up a 39-point swing in the second half in a blowout loss at Chicago on March 1.

Boston comes into town as one of the league’s hottest teams having won eight of its last 10 and after beating Philadelphia on March 1. The Celtics (40-20) are currently the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and are looking to stay in front of New York.

The Bucks (26-33), meanwhile, had been winning games but have dropped two in a row and three of their last five. In those three losses, all to teams currently in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, the team failed to score 100 points.

Is Giannis playing?

Yes.

Giannis Antetokounmpo began the day as questionable to play, and was upgraded to available after his pregame workout. It was the first time he had been listed as anything other than “out” since reinjuring his calf on Jan. 23. The game will mark the return of the former two-time MVP, who has missed the last 15 games with a strain of his soleus muscle in his right calf.

What is the Bucks record without Giannis?

11-17.

Milwaukee is 15-15 when Antetokounmpo plays any number of minutes. They are 1-2 when he has exited games early due to injury.

Is Jayson Tatum playing?

No.

Boston’s all-NBA wing is continuing to work his way back from a torn Achilles tendon suffered during the playoffs in May. Tatum has been doing five-on-five work lately.

Boston Celtics injury report

Jayson Tatum, out (Achilles)
Jaylen Brown, out (illness)
Neemias Queta, out (rest)

Taurean Prince, out (neck surgery)

Giannis Antetokounmpo, questionable (right calf strain)

Bucks probable starters

Guard: AJ Green, Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Jr.
Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Center: Myles Turner

What time is the Bucks game?

The game is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. CT.

What channel is the Bucks game on?

The game will be broadcast locally on FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin with Lisa Byington, Wesley Matthews and Melanie Ricks on the call. The game was originally supposed to be a national broadcast on Peacock but was moved to NBA TV.

NBA playoff standings

The Bucks are currently out of the postseason picture entirely. Here are the play-in standings in the Eastern Conference heading into game play on March 2:

No. 7: Orlando (31-28): The Bucks and Magic have split the season series 1-1. The Bucks host the Magic on March 8.

No. 8: Miami (32-29): The Bucks and Magic have split the season series 1-1. Milwaukee travels to Miami on March 12.

No. 9: Atlanta (31-31): The Bucks lead the season series 1-0. The Bucks host the Hawks on March 4 and then travel to Atlanta on March 14.

No. 10: Charlotte (30-31): The Bucks own the tiebreaker over the Hornets having won the season series 3-1.

No. 11: Milwaukee (26-33): The Bucks have had better luck against the play-in teams to date, as they are just 5-13 against the top six seeds in the conference.

“We say we didn’t play ourselves out of it,” Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said. “Obviously I’m competitive. I think we should’ve had an even better record. But, not having your best player for that long and staying above .500 is huge for us. It’s funny, when he went out (Jan. 23) the talk around me was ‘being .500’ and I was like we can be better than that. We were. I’ll take it. But, never satisfied.”

The four teams in the play-in will face one another to determine the final two playoff teams (which will face the top two seeds). Teams that hold the Nos. 7 and 8 seeds only have to win one game to advance, teams that hold the Nos. 8 and 9 seeds must win twice to advance

Bucks vs. Celtics odds

Boston is a 7.5-point favorite over Milwaukee with the over/under set at 216.5 points, per BetMGM.
