The Milwaukee Bucks are set to reignite their rivalry with the inconsistent Philadelphia 76ers Thursday night in yet another nationally televised showdown.

Thursday night will brings us the latest chapter in the Milwaukee Bucks’ rivalry with the Philadelphia 76ers, who come to town for the first time this season at Fiserv Forum.

The last we saw the two teams battle against one another was on Christmas Day and the 76ers thoroughly dominated the league’s best Bucks and handed them a 121-109 loss, which was Milwaukee’s fifth defeat of the season at that time.

As if they didn’t have ample opportunity to get the better of their long-time Eastern Conference rival, the Bucks will certainly look to wash out the sour taste from their mouths from their holiday defeat.

They will do so against a 76ers team that continues to write an incredibly inconsistent season, especially compared to the gargantuan expectations that surrounded them heading into the year.

All-Star big man Joel Embiid has returned to the fold after missing some time with a torn ligament in his finger, but all is not well with a 76ers team that has a 31-20 record heading into the night, which is good for sixth in the East.

So without further ado, let’s dig into what to watch for in the Bucks’ second meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers this season.
