Ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks hosting the Philadelphia 76ers, we caught up with our friends at The Sixer Sense to look ahead to the action.
Welcome to Opposition Intel!
The last time the Milwaukee Bucks came off the floor they did so with a win in Phoenix, and with Jason Kidd at the helm. That has changed for the time being, with Kidd sidelined after undergoing hip surgery, assistant Joe Prunty will take interim charge of the team until Kidd is healthy to return.
It’s not expected that that will change much about what the Bucks do, the way they play, and how their results have been of late, but only time will tell us if that is indeed the case.
Importantly for Milwaukee, they come in this game with some rare momentum and the opportunity to build on it further. After a second strong showing against the champion Golden State Warriors in seven days, and a gritty win over the Suns, the lowly Philadelphia 76ers will rightly or wrongly make for a pleasant site.
