Tonight’s Action

Milwaukee Bucks at Philadelphia 76ers

Watch: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN

Odds: Bucks -5.5 || O/U 235

Pick: Both teams enter this one on a roll. The Eastern Conference-leading 76ers have won six in a row, and the third-place Bucks — 2.5 games back — have earned four consecutive victories.

Tobias Harris has picked up the slack for Philly during Joel Embiid’s absence through injury, but with the Sixers playing a night after a hard-fought win over the Knicks, we expect Giannis Antetokounmpo to dominate the middle. Giannis is looking for his fourth straight triple-double.

Take the Bucks and lay the points. We also like the over.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner of Hurricanes-Red Wings, the score, and the first goal-scorer.

Detroit surprised the team with the best winning percentage in the NHL with a 4-2 victory. Carolina’s Nino Niederreiter notched the first goal.

Sports Section had a split-decision. We had the Hurricanes on the puck line (-1.5, +122), but we hit on the over-5.5.

Much like Sports Section, no subscriber suspected the improbable Red Wings victory. David Nagelberg (@SportsGuruDave) did have Niederreiter scoring first. Good job, Dave!

Keep the picks coming, everyone!
