Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: January 20 at Philadelphia 76ers
By Adam McGee
Finale
It seemed like the Bucks may have caught a break when injury ruled J.J. Redick out of this game earlier in the week, but it turns out that Milwaukee’s absentees may turn out to be much more decisive in this game.
The 76ers have been on an excellent run of late, going 7-3 over their last 10 games, and with the Bucks’ injuries they’ll be confident of extending that run.
Philadelphia does have a habit of blowing big leads, so even below full strength, the Bucks could well have a chance of making a game of it, as long as they can rally through any early charge and stay within striking distance.
