What you need to know about the 76ers
The defenses reigned supreme when the 76ers and the Knicks played on Tuesday, with Philadelphia losing 106-79. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, the 76ers struggled to work together and finished the game with only 17 assists. They were crushed by their opponents in that department as the Knicks posted 32 assists.
The Sixers are now 8-12 since reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid underwent surgery on his torn left meniscus. He’s scheduled to be reevaluated soon, and Philadelphia is hopeful that he can return before the start of the NBA playoffs. The Sixers will also be without De’Anthony Melton (back) for tonight’s matchup. See which team to pick here.
What you need to know about the Bucks
Meanwhile, the Bucks were dealt a punishing 129-94 loss at the hands of the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped a double-double on 30 points and 13 rebounds, but Milwaukee shot an abysmal 36.6% from the floor in the loss as a team.
The Bucks have lost three of four and have been passed by the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference standings. Opponents have shot at least 52% from the floor in all three losses, and Milwaukee now ranks bottom half of the NBA in points allowed per game (20th) and defensive rating (17th). Khris Middleton (ankle) is out for tonight, while Malik Beasley (back) is questionable. See which team to pick here.
