Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: March 4 vs Philadelphia 76ers

The Milwaukee Bucks will be desperate to break out of their slump when the high-flying Philadelphia 76ers visit on Sunday night.

The Milwaukee Bucks will continue their run of matchups against playoff rivals with the visit of the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night.

Having lost four straight games and largely floundered against the teams around them in the Eastern Conference standings since an excellent win over the Toronto Raptors, the Bucks will have a point to prove too.

The current run in the schedule was viewed as important for securing a quality playoff seeding and setting down a marker for potential opponents down the line, but for either of those things to feel relevant again, the Bucks have a lot of work to do in improving their form.

While the Bucks and 76ers have met twice already this season, Sunday should mark the first meeting between the teams that involves both of their respective star players being on the floor.

The Bucks picked up their win over Philadelphia when Joel Embiid was out, while the 76ers bested a Milwaukee team that didn’t include Giannis Antetokounmpo.

With wins in eight of their last 10 games, the Sixers should be considered heavy favorites, but the Bucks will have to burst back into life at some point if they want to prevent their season getting away from them.

With all of that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the action ahead, and how things might play out on Sunday night.
