Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks Match Preview

Suns: Strong offense, sus defense

The Phoenix Suns will enter the affair after an 11-point win against the Cleveland Cavaliers as Kevin Durant stacked up 42 points. They have won 3 in a row, winning two or more in a row for the first time since January. The results have been underwhelming but Dallas Mavericks’ downfall has at least opened up the pathway to the Play-in tournament. For now, the team needs to improve their defense as they have given up 115.1 points per game(10th worst), however, overall, they are doing better on that end than they did in late February and early March. All in all, their offense looks great, but their defense can be exposed by elite offenses. Their ceiling seems to be a first-round exit at this point.

Expected Starting Lineup

PG/SG: Devin Booker | SG: Collin Gillespie | SF: Ryan Dunn | SF/PF: Kevin Durant | C: Oso Ighodaro

Key Injuries/Updates: Bradley Bill is OUT for the game. The status of Grayson Allen and Nick Richards is UNCLEAR.

Bucks: Much better than last season, but have depth issues

The Milwaukee Bucks will come into this game after a 6-point win over the Sacramento Kings behind a herculean 32-point, 14-rebound effort by their ace Giannis Antetokounmpo. They have won two in a row but are 4-5 in their last nine games. Their play has been troubling during this window as they lost four of these games against playoffs-bound squads, indicating their issues throughout the season. The duo of Antetokouinmpo and Damian Lillard has found stability but Kyle Kuzma may not be the answer to their third option conundrum. Overall, the Bucks will need to get their act together or they will pick bad habits before the postseason.

Expected Starting Lineup

PG: Damian Lillard | SG/SF: Kyle Kuzma | SF: Taurean Prince | PF: Giannis Antetokounmpo | C: Brook Lopez

Key Injuries/Updates: Damian Lillard’s status is UNCLEAR.

Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks Total Over/Under Prediction

The Bucks’ offense can be a bit rocky especially because their players have been way too wayward. Meanwhile, the Suns have a boisterous offensive lineup, especially when both KD and Devin Booker get going from the field. Defensively, the Bucks are a tad better with The Greek Freak as their anchor, but they have faced some troubles on that end too. Overall, I expect a game in the 230s.

Phoenix Suns Player Props Predictions- Projected Top Bets & Odds

Devin Booker to deliver over 8.5 assists: The Suns playmaker has dished 7.5 assists this month, a mark he has crossed regularly. I believe he will be in the 8-10 assists range here.

Ryan Dunn to score over 11.5 points: The Suns guard has produced 9 PPG in March, scoring in double-digits during five straight games. I expect him to follow the trend here.

Milwaukee Bucks Player Props Predictions – Projected Top Bets & Odds

Giannis Antetokounmpo to score over 31.5 points: The Bucks PF has accumulated 27.7 PPG in March, scoring 30+ in five games. I believe he will be in the 33-37 points range.

Kyle Kuzma to score over 17.5 points: The Bucks forward has averaged 14.1 PPG in March, having some consistency issues at times. However, I believe he will be in 18-21 points range.

Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks Match Prediction

The Suns are in great shape these days, especially at home. Meanwhile, the Bucks have tottered a little on the road, especially against strong offensive squads. But Antetokounmpo will be a handful against Phoenix’s frontline and can flip the script again. I believe he will be able to break a 3-game winning streak. The Bucks can win by 4-7 points here.

Safe Spread Pick: Bucks -1.5 for +140 at BetMGM
