Bucks Host Sixers on Sunday
The Milwaukee Bucks play host to the Philadelphia 76ers at Fiserv Forum on Sunday.

The Sixers (51-26) are nearly locked into the three-seed in the east. That's quite the accomplishment for any team because the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics have looked like the two best teams in the NBA all season. What's made them so good is the play from their superstars. Joel Embiid is one of the favorites for MVP, while James Harden is leading the NBA in assists. That doesn't even consider role players like Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris, who would be star players for most clubs in the NBA. That has Philly looking like one of the most dangerous teams heading into the postseason, and it'll be fun to see how they perform.

The Bucks (55-22) have been the best team in the NBA for the majority of the season, but their most recent game was one of the ugliest of the year. Milwaukee took a 140-99 beatdown at the hands of the Boston Celtics on Thursday. That's a team the Bucks will likely have to beat in the postseason, and this Philly club is the other primary contender in the Eastern Conference. These two matchups will be a good barometer of what to expect from this club, and you know Milwaukee wants to bounce back after that ugly performance. With all that said, two more wins will secure the best record in the NBA and homecourt throughout the postseason.

This is the fourth and final meeting between these teams, with Philly winning two of three. With that said, Milwaukee has won eight of their last 11 games in this series.
