Milwaukee Bucks is looking to show off, as they start their campaign in the NBA, facing another dominating team, Philadelphia 76ers. Last season, the Bucks had an underwhelming campaign, as they only were eliminated early. They were eliminated by the Miami Heat, in an unfortunate 4-1 loss in their series. On the other hand, the 76ers has a better campaign last season, as they had their chances for the conference finals. In fact, they are just a win away from clinching their spot in the finals of the Eastern Conference. Moreover, these two teams are two of the most anticipated teams this season, following the talents they have. The Bucks was able to acquire Damian Lillard, while the 76ers are still having their dramas within the teams. The meeting between these two teams is on October 27, 2023, at 7:30 AM (GMT+8).
Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee has secured a significant trade for point guard Damian Lillard, making them a strong contender in the Eastern Conference. However, the team’s health is a major concern, with Khris Middleton, who averaged just 15.1 points per game, still injured. Despite this, Middleton is expected to be in the starting lineup for the opening game. Milwaukee’s 2022-23 season saw an eighth-ranked offense, averaging 116.9 points per game, and a strong defense, with Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the team with 11.8 boards. The team also finished fifth in scoring with 31.1 points per game. Defensively, Milwaukee allowed opponents to shoot 45.6% from the field and 35.4% from three, allowing opponents to shoot 45.6% from the field and 35.4% from three. The Bucks also averaged 6.4 steals and 4.9 blocks per game.
Since Middleton is finally available here, they no longer have an injury concern coming into this match. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday continue to lead the Bucks with 31.1 and 19.3 points respectively.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia Sixers have a strong roster, but James Harden is reportedly attempting to force Philadelphia to trade him. However, reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid remains a key player, leading the team in scoring with 33.1 points per game. The Sixers also had a strong balance on both ends of the court, ranking 14th with 115.2 points scored per game and third with just 110.9 points allowed per game. The offense shot 48.7% from the field last season, while the defense kept opponents to 47.2% shooting and 34.8% from three, the fifth best mark in the NBA. The Sixers had four players average more than a steal per game and had a +1.1 differential in steals and rebound differentials last season.
James Harden is out in this person for personal reasons, and he has been asked not to travel with his squad. Aside from him, there are no other absentee coming into this match. They will be under the leadership Joel Embiid who chipped in 33.1 points per game last season.
