Odds, Props, and Predictions as 76ers host Bucks in 2022 home-opener
After dropping their opening night matchup to the Boston Celtics, the 76ers travel home for another prime-time showdown against another Eastern Conference contender. This time, they will play host to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.
These teams faced off three times last season, with the Bucks winning two matchups. Given how important tiebreakers are come playoff time, the Sixers will be doing all they can to win the season series this time around.
While the 76ers didn’t come away victorious on opening night, there was one major positive to take away from the game. Following an offseason full of training, James Harden looks to be back to his old self. The former MVP posted a box score of 35 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists in a losing effort against Boston.
As of the latest injury report, the 76ers are heading into this matchup at full strength. Over on the Milwaukee side, they will be without Pat Connaughton (calf), Joe Ingles (ACL), and Khris Middleton (wrist).

Sixers’ growing pains apparent in Game 1
Given all the moving parts that came in this offseason, it was expected for the Sixers to come out of the gates clunky. The growing pains were on full display against the Celtics, and something the team should look to work through quickly as they look to get into the win column.
Starting off the season against two conference rivals isn’t great, but it could prove to be valuable for the 76ers. They get an early opportunity to test different schemes and see how they measure up to teams that are in their way of contending for a title.
With the Bucks being without one of their top players, this a great chance for the Sixers to forget what happened in Boston and pick up a good win in front of their home fans.
