The Milwaukee Bucks will be without Jericho Sims and Damian Lillard.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
The Bucks have found ways to win their last couple of games, but they’re still without Lillard and they’re still 16-18 SU on the road. The Suns have quietly played improved ball as of late which includes wins in four of their last five games and there seems to be more motivation now that they’ve caught the Mavs in the standings. The Suns could even catch the Kings for the ninth seed if they continue on this winning path. Also, the Suns have seen 22 of their 34 wins this season come at home. I kind of like what I’ve seen from the Suns over the last week or so, as there’s a sense of urgency for a change. With the Bucks down one of their best players, this is a game the Suns should win. I’ll lay the points.
