Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers: Odds, Lines, Picks, and Predictions - October 20, 2022 | NBA Regular Season
The Milwaukee Bucks will open up their season against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday (October 20) night. It's a battle between two powerhouses in the East.
Philly started their season with a loss to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. They put up 117 points, but that was far short of what was needed for a win. They will try their luck today against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks.

James Harden stole the show in Philly's first game. There were many questions surrounding him, as he underperformed last season, but he came out firing on Tuesday. Harden scored 35 and was 5-for-9 from behind the arc. He also cleaned up eight rebounds with as many assists - just shy of the triple-double.
Antetokounmpo and company will do their best to give the 76ers their second L of the season. The Greek Freak is always a contender for MVP, and he has been the most dominant player in the league for the past few years, and that reign is nowhere near its end.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
After a devastating loss in their first game, Philly would look to get right at home. Philadelphia is a tough city to play in, but given how they looked in their last game, bettors should expect Giannis Antetokounmpo to take over in this one.
Moreover, the crazy number of points in the first game inflated the over/under in this game. Bettors should stay wise and not take the bait. The public is often riding the over, so sharp bettors lean towards unders.
Milwaukee (+148) & Under 224 (-108)
