Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: April 11 at Philadelphia 76ers

Finale

And so it all comes down to this. While draft tiebreakers could still save the Milwaukee Bucks’ first round pick for this year, even if they were to lose this one and fall to eighth for playoff purposes, it would be much easier if the Bucks could just go out and find one more win.

The Bucks aren’t in a position to worry about whether they’d prefer seventh place, as that’s very much out of their hands. A loss in this game could just as easily see the Bucks wind up at eighth against the Raptors again as it could see them fall into a matchup with the Boston Celtics.

With the 76ers on the second night of a back-to-back, having played on the road the previous night, and with a star who’s been under the weather, the Bucks should have a real chance to finish with a win, though. That could mean seven more games with Philly, or that could mean a battle with LeBron and the Cavaliers, but first the Bucks will have to take care of business to have a chance of finding out.
