The Bucks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. The over is 5-1 in Bucks last 6 overall. The over is 4-1 in Suns last 5 overall. The Bucks are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Phoenix and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
The Milwaukee Bucks in the underdog role is tough to pass up, and I wouldn't talk you off the ledge if looking to lean in that direction. However, this is the first time these teams will meet since the NBA Finals, so it has a revenge factor for the Suns. The Phoenix Suns are also dominant at home, where they win by an average of 8.4 points while allowing 43.7 percent shooting from the field. The Suns also win in the favorite role by an average of nine points. I'll lay the buckets here with the Suns.
