Glenn Robinson will be out for the Sixers with some sort of elbow injury. I belive the Bucks will be focused and ready to play after two straight lackluster performances on the road. Bucks by 6
Bucks by 5, after the 2 losses the Bucks must and I think will now see what they have to do and get it done. They lost to 2 very beatable teams in Miami and Cleveland, and really need to get this win against another under .500 team in the East.
I would say Bucks by 12 but KT has been tearing it up latley and I see him getting 20+ points and 12+ rebounds tonight too,If Allen won't get it going he should consider shooting less,cause KT is having great streak going on.Also Damon Jones and Desmond Mason make this game close,Sixers by 3.
Bucks need to win this game to create some distance between themselves and 5th place New Orleans. Getting tight in the battle for homecourt advantage.
Hi guys, I'm new to JustBBAll, but I'm a huge Bucks fan. I have to take the Bucks by 11 in this one. Porter won't let this team fade. From the probable starters I see Smith and Skinner will be back?
Hey man welcome to JBB, always need more Bucks fans, Smith and Skinner played vs Cleveland Saturday so yeah they will play today.
Bucks by 10. An excellent job by Terry Porter for keeping these guys in contention when everybody thought this team wouldn't succeed. And as for Philadelphia, well they're 2 games out from the 8th and final playoff spot, and it seeems to me, they've thrown everything in the tank.
I say Phillly by 7 i have a feeling AI will hav an ok scoring night but a good assist night.I hope Green plays well, he is a player we need in the future.The person who I remembered killed us last time we played the Bucks was TJ Ford.

If Allen Iverson doesn't play i'd say that the Bucks win by 7.I predict that Redd will have a huge game.But if AI plays this might be a close game.If the Sixers want to win the whole team need to give the effort and play well.
