The Milwaukee Bucks might not be all that happy about spending Christmas Day away from their families for a road game, but I think they'll be looking to make sure it's worth the trouble and come out all guns blazing.

They're a solid 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite, and while Philly has been solid as a dog I don't see them keeping pace with the visitors in this one. We can also note that Philadelphia has hit a bit of a rough patch lately, dropping three of its last five straight up while covering the spread in only one of those five games.

Milwaukee has seemingly made it a mission to beat down on other competitors in the East this season, most recently defeating Indiana by almost 30 points.
