Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
The Phoenix Suns have cooled off lately, as they are now hoping to snap a three-game losing streak after getting thrashed by the Rockets in a 148-109 home defeat on Sunday. Devin Booker led the team with 28 points on 12 of 17 shooting, Kevin Durant added 11 points with seven rebounds, while Monte Morris chipped in with 10 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Suns shot 48 percent from the field and 10 of 32 from the 3-point line as they got off to a poor start and never gave themselves a chance after getting outscored by 78-49 going into halftime. Tyus Jones had a rough game as he shot just two of nine for his five points, while Collin Gillespie shot just one of nine for his three points. The Suns will meet the Celtics and Knicks after this game.
Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in a slump, as they've lost six of their last eight games overall. They will be eager to snap a four-game slide after getting routed by the Hawks in a 145-124 home defeat on Sunday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led teh team with 31 points, nine rebounds, and five assists; Kyle Kuzma added 25 points, while Kevin Porter Jr provided the spark off the bench with 28 points and five assists. As a team, the Bucks shot 47 percent from the field and 12 of 35 from the 3-point line as they got off to a great start and exploded for 44 points in the first quarter. But they couldn't maintain that pace and managed just 17 points in the third quarter to trail by as many as 27 points in this one.
Why the Milwaukee Bucks will win
- The Suns have lost each of their last 17 games as road underdogs.
- The Bucks have won each of their last six games against the Suns at Fiserv Forum.
- The Suns have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight road games against Central Division opponents.
- The Bucks have covered the spread in each of their last four home games against Pacific Division opponents following a loss.
Why the Phoenix Suns will win
- The Bucks have lost four of their last five games as home favorites after losing as favorites.
- The Suns have won each of their last five night games against Central Division opponents that held a winning record.
- The road team has covered the spread in seven of the Bucks' last eight games.
- The Bucks have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games against Western Conference opponents after losing as favorites.

- Five of the Suns' last six games have gone OVER the total points line.
Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Suns have ruled out Kevin Durant, and they have Bradley Beal listed as questionable, while the Bucks have ruled out Damian Lillard again, and they have AJ Green listed as questionable. This is one of those games where you should check the lineups before tip-off. The Bucks open as clear favorites in this one, and I think it's warranted, as the Suns are vulnerable when they have a one star player missing and flat-out terrible when it's just Devin Booker carrying the offense. With that being said, I will go with the Bucks to bounce back from their last defeat with a win and cover at home in this one.
