This is a 10* ULTIMATE TOTAL on the OVER Bucks/76ers.

Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but all signs point to a much higher-scoring shootout in my opinion here.

The Bucks are 36-21 overall, but just 13-14 on the road, while Philadelphia is 33-23, including 18-12 at home.

The Bucks broke a two-game slide with a 112-107 win at Minnesota last time out. Milwaukee has seen the total go UNDER in five straight now, but that's significant to note here as Milwaukee has in fact seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 12 after playing to five or more straight UNDERS in a row.

The Bucks won this game 118-117 back on October 26th, and I believe we'll have an even more wide-open affair here as well this time around.

The 76ers broke a two-game slide with a 104-97 victory over Cleveland last time out. Philly has seen the total go UNDER in three straight, but note that the 76ers have in fact seen the total go OVER the number in four of their last five after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.

I say this faster-paced affair eclipses the posted number sooner, rather than later. The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
