Preview: Bucks-76ers Clash in Philadelphia on Sunday PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — The Philadelphia 76ers, clinging to playoff positioning, host the lottery-bound Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in the regular season finale for both teams. The 76ers (44-37) enter having secured a winning record but are just 5-5 in their last 10 games. They are coming off a 105-94 road win over Indiana on Friday, powered by a 32-point, eight-rebound effort from All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey. Maxey has been prolific, averaging 24.6 points and 6.6 assists over his last eight contests. Conversely, the Bucks (32-49) long ago fell out of the postseason picture. They snapped a two-game skid with a 125-108 victory over Brooklyn on Friday. Guard AJ Green erupted for a career-high 35 points in that win, highlighting a recent surge. Over his last five games, Green is averaging 21.2 points, including three performances of 20 or more. Philadelphia has dominated the season series, sweeping all three meetings. The most recent was a 139-122 rout in Philadelphia on Jan. 27. The 76ers’ offense has averaged 126.3 points in those victories. For Milwaukee, the finale is about building momentum for next season. Green’s development as a primary scorer has been a late-season bright spot, complemented by contributions from Cormac Ryan and Taurean Prince. The Bucks will need a collective defensive effort to contain Maxey and a Philadelphia team that has scored at least 115 points in four of its last five outings. The 76ers, likely locked into their playoff seed, may look to manage minutes for key players but will aim to carry positive momentum into the postseason. Milwaukee, playing for pride, seeks to close a difficult season on a high note and avoid a series sweep. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EDT Sunday.
