Milwaukee Bucks vs. Phoenix Suns Match Prediction
Milwaukee Bucks are on a four-game winning streak and enter this game after blowing out the Lakers. On the contrary, the Suns are slightly losing their edge as they struggled in the victory against the 76ers. But Phoenix has lost only one game to Atlanta in their last 18 games and are also shooting at an incredible percentage from 3-point range.
But Milwaukee has the size and athleticism to contain the Paul-Booker duo on the perimeter with Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton. Similarly, the Greek Freak is unstoppable with Bobby Portis creating matchup nightmares thanks to his shooting ability. Hence the Bucks are the favourites to win this game.
