Milwaukee Bucks vs. Philadelphia 76ers starting key matchups

The Bucks enter Sunday's game against the 76ers as favorites, with Joel Embiid unavailable. The 76ers can cause some problems with a few matchups for the Bucks, though.

Damian Lillard has been in streaky form, so deploying their best defender against the 2024 3-point contest champion could be significant for the Sixers. Outside of Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks struggle to get worthy production. Neutralizing either one could take the Sixers a long way.

That said, Nicolas Batum could be the primary defender on Giannis Antetokounmpo. Batum has the length and size to deal with the Bucks forward's size. If Batum and the 76ers frontline are on the same page, they can prevent Giannis from having his way in this game.
