The weekend in the NBA starts with a banger in Milwaukee. Entering tonight's matchup the Bucks have won 16 games in a row, but they'll have to go through Joel Embiid and the 76ers in order to make it 17. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 pm ET on ABC, and I've prepared a Same Game Parlay to spice things up a little.

Philadelphia 76ers ML (+180)
I don't blame you if you're backing the Bucks to win here, judging by how the Sixers have played lately that's the more likely outcome. But, as we saw last night with the Nets who came back from 28 points down to beat the Celtics on the road, things don't always go to plan. I'd say if these two teams met in a playoff series this would go 7 easily, on paper they are two evenly matched teams. The regular season series is split at 1-1 at the moment, with Philly winning the previous match-up 110-102. It hasn't been the best of starts coming out of the all-star break for the Sixers, they're coming off a big loss at Dallas which should be a wake-up call. Milwaukee has been nothing short of amazing during their run, but no team in the NBA is without its flaws. Philadelphia has 10 wins in their last 13 games on the road and 14 in their last 20 played overall. If anyone can end the Bucks' win streak that is a motivated Joel Embiid and James Harden.
