And the Bucks will look to take control of their season series with the 76ers after getting their revenge back on February 6.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, have maintained their hold on being the league’s most inconsistent team, especially compared to the lofty expectations that were placed on them entering the year.
The 76ers are fresh off a comeback overtime victory over the lowly Brooklyn Nets that helped them get their first win following the All-Star break.
And while he missed the 76ers’ game against the Nets, All-Star forward Ben Simmons is on track to play against the Bucks Saturday night, per ESPN’s Tim Bontemps.
Brett Brown says there are encouraging signs for Ben Simmons playing tomorrow in Milwaukee. The Sixers have listed him as probable for the game against the Bucks.
