After four days off, the Sixers have another back-to-back coming up. It starts with a rematch against the Milwaukee Bucks, who beat us by 2 in our home opener but will be more shorthanded this time around, with crucial bench players Wesley Matthews and Pat Connaughton out and Jrue Holiday possibly out as well. Like last time, the game will depend most on our superstars, though, with whoever plays better between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid likely coming out with the win. As hot as Embiid’s been, he isn’t getting held to 15 again, so I like our chances of getting a 2 point win of our own or even surpassing that. With the Sixers on a two-game win streak, I’m hoping to start a streak of my own tonight, and no, I’m not talking about our game against the Washington Pigskins or whatever that crappy team with its lame duck owner is calling itself now.
Phrenetic Bet of the Week: Sixers -2
