Matchup Breakdown
Philadelphia 76ers Outlook
Tyrese Maxey scored 24 with nine assists in the loss to Toronto, while VJ Edgecombe and Quentin Grimes added 21 each.

Milwaukee Bucks Outlook
Ryan Rollins scored 24 and Myles Turner added 15 points and seven rebounds in the loss to Cleveland. Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) remains sidelined, but Milwaukee ranks 1st in effective FG% and 2nd in three-point percentage (41.5%).
