After a somewhat ugly loss on the road just over a week ago, the Milwaukee Bucks will look for revenge with the visit of the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.
Just nine days on from a 22-point loss to the same opponent at the Wells Fargo Center, the Milwaukee Bucks should make for a very different proposition when the Philadelphia 76ers visit the Bradley Center on Monday night.
Not only will Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo be available having missed that previous game with knee soreness, but the man calling the shots from the Bucks’ bench has changed too.
That loss in Philadelphia proved to be the curtain call for the Jason Kidd era in Milwaukee, and in the time since, the Bucks have responded to that change very positively.

A very kind schedule has certainly benefited interim head coach Joe Prunty and his team, but three convincing wins since that loss to the Sixers should leave the Bucks brimming with confidence heading into this rematch.
There have been signs of overhaul and improvement in terms of both offense and defense for the Bucks over the last three games, but against a much more competitive team, they’ll be put to the test on Monday night.
With all of that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the action ahead, and how things might play out in this one as the Bucks host the 76ers.
