THE Phoenix Suns (39-28) will face the Milwaukee Bucks (43-24) in 2021 NBA Finals rematch, although both teams have changed considerably since that run of titles. The Suns are coming off a victory against the Hornets, while the Bucks beat the 76ers in their last game. This is the second meeting between these teams, with the Suns winning the first game 114-106.
The Suns are impeccable on the daily injury front. The Bucks listed Giannis Antetokounmpo, Malik Beasley and MarJon Beauchamp as questionable, but the big news is that Khris Middleton is coming off the injury report for this game.
The Bucks are 2-point favorites at DraftKings Sports Bettingwith the total set at 225. Milwaukee is -135 on the moneyline while Phoenix is +114.
Suns vs. Bucks, 1 p.m. ET
Choose ATS: dollars -2
Antetokounmpo should prepare for this game, and Middleton’s return will give the Bucks a boost. Although Milwaukee is just 15-16-1 ATS as a home team, the Bucks are 26-7 at home. The Suns are 14-17-1 ATS as a road team, but 6-6 ATS as a road underdog. Phoenix is 12-24-2 ATS after a win while Milwaukee is 19-23 ATS in the same category.
As long as the Bucks have Antetokounmpo in the lineup, I’ll take them to collect some money and split the season series with Phoenix.
More less : Less than 225
Phoenix is 29-37-1 over on the season while Milwaukee is 31-35-1 over. Since the All-Star break, the Suns have lost in 10 of 12 games while the Bucks have lost in nine of 11 games. The last meeting between these teams took place below this line, so I’ll repeat that line here.
