For the third time this season, the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks go head-to-head, with the Bucks having won big in the first two meetings. Our best NBA betting sites list the hosts as a 1.5-point favorite to beat Philadelphia for a third time this season.

Our 76ers vs. Bucks prediction and player prop picks expect Damian Lillard to excel as a facilitator and for new addition Kyle Kuzma to get it done as a scorer and rebounder. We also expect Tyrese Maxey to keep the hot hand on offense when the 76ers and Bucks tip off at 2 p.m. ET from Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.

Best 76ers vs. Bucks prop predictions

Damian Lillard prop pick: Over 8.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lillard’s 7.5 assists per game are his most in four seasons and second-most of his career. He has been a solid facilitator throughout the season, but he’s picked it up over his last eight.

Lillard has averaged 9.1 dimes and hit the Over on this line in five of eight since Jan. 23. That’s something he’s done in just 14 of 42 games this season, but we love this pick while Giannis Antetokounmpo is sidelined.

Lillard has averaged 7.1 assists per game with Antetokounmpo available and 10.6 with him out. The guard has dished at least nine dimes in four of five without his superstar running mate, including each of his last four.

Best odds: -106 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 51.46%

Tyrese Maxey prop pick: Over 28.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

You’d have to go back to Jan. 4 to find a game in which Maxey scored fewer than 27 points. Maxey has dropped a ridiculous 32.1 points per game over his last 17, and we expect another strong performance today.

Maxey delivered at least 29 points in 14 games and registered two more with exactly 28 during the aforementioned stretch. He’s averaging a career-high 27.8 points per game, and he's hit the Over on this line in exactly half of his 44 appearances.

Maxey has scored 25 and 24 in his last two home matchups with Milwaukee, but he’s dropped 37, 30, 31, and 29 over his last four at Fiserv Forum. He’s on a roll and has excelled against this team over the last two seasons, making this an easy selection.

Best odds: -120 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 54.55%

Kyle Kuzma prop pick: Over 21.5 points + rebounds ⭐⭐⭐

Kuzma made his Bucks debut on Friday, finishing with 12 points and seven rebounds across 24 minutes. Even with Antetokounmpo sidelined, he didn’t play monster minutes, but he should see an uptick in playing time today as he continues to get acclimated to his new team.

Kuzma’s season was up-and-down in Washington, with an emphasis on the down. His 15.1 points and 5.8 rebounds were his lowest averages since joining the Wizards, but he averaged 21.3 points and 6.3 rebounds across his final four games with the team.

Bobby Portis figures to be the biggest beneficiary of Antetokounmpo's’ absence, but Kuz should be available to pick up the slack as a scorer and rebounder thanks to his size and scoring ability. Philadelphia’s defensive rating is fifth-worst in the NBA across the last 10 games, so this is not a scary matchup for the new Buck.

Best odds: -113 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 53.05%
