Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.4 points and 11.2 rebounds while Khris Middleton is averaging 20.1 points and 5.6 assists.

The Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 43-21 ATS in their last 64 games overall. The Bucks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Monday games. The over is 8-3 in Suns last 11 overall. The over is 7-1 in Bucks last 8 home games. The Suns are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Milwaukee and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The Milwaukee Bucks are going to be favored because they're at home and Giannis Antetokounmpo is back on the court. However, the Suns have been one of the more consistent teams in the league both straight up and against the spread. You're also getting the Suns as an underdog for just the 11th time this season. The Suns are 15-9 against the spread on the road and 35-21 against the spread on the season. The line may be accurate, but I'm not leaving free points on the table with the Suns.
Randy’s Pick Phoenix Suns +4.5
