Joel Embiid was having an MVP-caliber season until he suffered a knee injury two games ago. He's out replaced by a combination of Tony Bradley and Dwight Howard. Embiid averages 29.9 points. Bradley and Howard average a combined 11 points. Rarely do they go to the free throw line either and whey they do there's about a 40 percent chance they will miss.
So without Embiid, I see this total as being too high.
The 76ers just beat the physical Knicks, 99-96, at home Tuesday night. This marks Philadelphia's third game in four days and second in two nights. A fast-paced, up-tempo game from the 76ers should not be expected especially when the plodding and way over-the-hill Howard is on the floor. The Bucks' defense is down from the past couple of seasons, but they still rank seventh in defensive field goal percentage.
Philadelphia ranks fifth in defensive field goal percentage and seventh in scoring defense giving up 110.1 points per game. The Bucks could experience some culture shock having just played the Wizards twice. The Wizards are the worst defensive team in the NBA.
