Milwaukee facing an uncertain future
The Milwaukee Bucks entered the season with the hopes of contending in a watered down Eastern Conference, but have fallen way short of their goals. The Bucks will now enter the offseason with a growing chance of losing two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee ranks near the bottom of the league in defensive efficiency by Hollinger's NBA Team Statistics and is surrendering 116.7 points per contest. The Bucks have lost 27 of their 40 road games and will miss the postseason for the first time since 2016. On Friday, Milwaukee raced out to a 14-point lead after one quarter and connected on half of their 48 three-point attempts during a 125-128 home victory versus Brooklyn.
All-Star F Giannis Antetokounmpo has appeared in just 36 games this season and leads Milwaukee in scoring (27.6 ppg) and rebounds (9.8 rpg). Ryan Rollins has taken a huge step forward in Antetokounmpo’s absence and is scoring a career-best 17.3 points per game. Veteran F Bobby Portis (13.7 ppg) is always a presence in the interior. Myles Turner (11.9 ppg) has not lived up to expectations in his first season in Milwaukee.

Philadelphia desperate for postseason success
The Philadelphia 76ers have asked their fans to trust the process, but have failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals since 2001. The 76ers have been decimated by injuries the last two seasons and were eliminated in the opening round by New York last year. Philadelphia ranks in the middle of the pack in offensive efficiency by Hollinger's NBA Team Statistics and is scoring 115.8 points per contest. The 76ers are four games above .500 at home and have clinched a spot in the Play-In Tournament. On Friday, Philadelphia converted 16-of-19 free-throw attempts and held Indiana to 38 percent shooting during a 105-94 road victory.
All-Star G Tyrese Maxey ranks fifth in the NBA in scoring at 28.4 points per game. Maxey also leads Philadelphia in assists (6.7) and steals (1.9). When Joel Embiid has been on the floor he has been effective, averaging 26.9 points in 32 minutes of action. Paul George (17.5 ppg) has returned from suspension and can still score the basketball consistently. Rookie G V.J. Edgecombe is an athletic freak and ranks fourth on the 76ers in scoring at 16.1 points per game.
