Head-to-Head:

Phoenix and Milwaukee have both struggled recently, with the Suns missing Kevin Durant for this matchup. However, the Bucks have had difficulty covering the spread, especially in recent games against Western Conference teams like Phoenix.

Phoenix Suns Breakdown:

Phoenix has been struggling without Durant and will look to Devin Booker to step up in his absence. The Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last five games and have struggled defensively, allowing an average of 115.6 PPG over their last ten contests. Despite this, Booker continues to be a bright spot, averaging 25.3 points and 7.1 assists per game.

  • Oso Ighodaro: 5.6 rebounds

Milwaukee Bucks Breakdown:

Milwaukee is 4-6 in their last 10 games and has struggled recently, especially defensively, allowing 114.3 points per game over the past ten games. However, they still have Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard as offensive anchors. The Bucks' depth has been key, but the team has yet to fully recover from their recent slump. Still, the Bucks are averaging 113.6 PPG and should find success against a Suns team missing their top scorer.

Key Players:

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo: 30.2 points, 11.9 rebounds

  • Damian Lillard: 24.9 points, 7.1 assists

  • Gary Trent Jr.: 3.3 (41.8%) 3-pointers made
