Milwaukee Bucks @ Philadelphia 76ers – 7:30PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers will meet here on Thursday evening. This will be the Milwaukee Bucks first game of the brand new 2022-23 National Basketball Association season, while the Philadelphia 76ers played on Tuesday night. The 76ers come into this game with a record of 0-1 after losing to the Boston Celtics.

The Milwaukee Bucks will look to get their 2022-23 season started off on the right foot as they open up on the road in Philadelphia against the 76ers. The Bucks were a playoff team last season, as they finished the year with a record of 46-26 and in third place of the Eastern Conference. They will have high hopes this season as they will look to make their way back to the NBA Finals, which they likely would’ve done last season as well had injuries not hampered them in the playoffs.
The sports scene in Philadelphia is riding high at the moment, as the Phillies are a series win away from the World Series, the Union are the best team in MLS, and the Eagles are undefeated. The 76ers however, opened the season on a disappointing note as they looked completely lost against last year’s Eastern Conference Champions, the Boston Celtics. I don’t expect the Philadelphia 76ers to bounce back in this one either, as I’m going with the Milwaukee Bucks to get the win.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers will meet here on Thursday evening. This will be the Los Angeles Clippers first game of the brand new 2022-23 National Basketball Association season, while the Los Angeles Lakers played on Tuesday night. The Lakers come into this game with a record of 0-1 after losing to the Golden State Warriors.

The Los Angeles Clippers will be playing their first game of the season in this one, as they will take on their rivals the Los Angeles Lakers. The Clippers have a ton of potential this season, but the same thing was said last year before their two star players missed the majority of the season. The key to their success this year is the health of Kawahi Leonard and Paul George. If they can remain healthy then this team has a real shot at making a deep run into the postseason.
The Los Angeles Lakers looked horrible in their season opening loss to the reigning and defending NBA champions, the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday evening. The Lakers will be looking to bounce back after a rough performance and grab their first win of the season in this game. However, I don’t look for it to happen as I expect the Clippers to pick up the victory.

LA Clippers (-225)
