The Milwaukee Bucks have finally snapped their losing streak, and now the Bucks will have a chance to add another win against a banged up Philadelphia 76ers team.
As Milwaukee Bucks fans who also cheer for the Green Bay Packers already know, injuries can derail even a very promising team. The Philadelphia 76ers are starting to look promising, but they’re seriously banged up right now.
Jerryd Bayless has barely played this season, first overall pick Ben Simmons hasn’t played at all, and Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor are both currently hurt. Embiid is out for sure on Wednesday, and Okafor might miss the game too.

All of those players missed Philly’s last game against the Los Angeles Clippers, and the 76ers still won handily! Chris Paul might be out, but Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan both played and were helpless to stop Philly bigs, a group that was, again, without Embiid and Okafor.
This 76ers team is scrappy every night, and it seems like Nerlens Noel is ready to prove he can play now that he’s finally getting minutes. The Bucks can and should win on Wednesday, but this game is no sure thing.
