Philadelphia 76ers DFS Spin
Sixers forward Tobias Harris missed Philadelphia’s last game with an illness, but he’s probable for Sunday’s clash with the Bucks. I actually think Harris would be a nice DFS option on Sunday. He’s averaging 15 points and 5.8 rebounds per game while shooting an excellent 50.3% from the field this season. He scored at least 10 points in 12 of 15 games last month and he could hit that number again on Sunday.
Philly’s Tyrese Maxey could be in for a big scoring night against Milwaukee on Sunday. Maxey poured in 26 points in the Sixers’ 133-130 road win against the Bucks on March 4th and racked up 24 points in Philly’s 110-104 win over the Bucks on November 18th. If the Bucks focus on trying to stop James Harden, Maxey could be the beneficiary on Sunday.
Milwaukee Bucks DFS Spin
Bucks forward Khris Middleton left Milwaukee’s last game against Boston with an upper lip laceration, but he should be good to go against the Sixers on Sunday. Middleton is fourth on the Bucks in scoring with 15.4 points per game this season.
Milwaukee point guard Jevon Carter is dealing with a knee injury. He’s officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s contest. Carter is averaging 8.1 points per game in 22.3 minutes per contest for the Bucks this year.
Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 26.7 points and 13.3 rebounds in 3 games against the Sixers this season. He’s increased his scoring output in each successive game against Philadelphia, and the league MVP award might be on the line in this contest. It would make sense to consider Giannis Antetokounmpo for your DFS lineup in a marquee matchup like Sunday’s game.

76ers vs. Bucks NBA Prediction
Philadelphia has been good on the road against the number this year as they’re 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games. The Sixers are also solid on the road against better teams. Philadelphia is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games against a team with a winning home record.
Milwaukee has struggled on Sundays this year as they’re only 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games. The Bucks have had trouble covering against elite teams as well as Milwaukee is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games against a team with a winning percentage over .600. The Sixers have already beaten the Bucks twice this season, and I think they either do it again or come close on Sunday. I’ll take the 76ers and the points on the road.
