The team's ability to draw fouls and convert free throws could play into their hands if they manage to control the pace of play and limit turnovers.


The Bucks come into this game as formidable opponents; however, based on past performances and statistics from previous games this season including an impressive win over Cleveland Cavaliers where Philly led for over three-quarters of gameplay time – there is every reason for optimism among Sixer fans.


With Joel Embiid’s presence in the paint both offensively and defensively along with Ben Simmons' playmaking abilities – if he can keep his assist-to-turnurnover ratio high – Philly has all tools necessary for success. It will be essential for Tobias Harris and other role players step up once again contribute across board especially from beyond arc where they have shown proficiency earlier season matches.
