Should You Bet Bucks or Sixers to Win Series Based on This Historic Trend?

No team in NBA Playoff history has come back from down 3-0, but a handful have battled back from down 3-1, and we have some history potentially brewing in the first round.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks each extended its seasons on Tuesday night in Game 5 while trailing 3-1, setting up pivotal Game 6's on Thursday. For the Sixers, the team will return home in hopes of evening the series up at three games a piece while the Bucks will look to win on the road, setting up a Saturday Game 7 back in Milwaukee.

History isn't on the side of the team down 3-1, only 13 teams have erased a 3-1 series deficit in 282 instances, per Land of Basketball, which translates to about a 4%.
