MILWAUKEE BUCKS ML (+130) vs SUNS
(NBA) Bucks (MIL) vs. Suns (PHO),
Money Line: 130.00 Bucks (MIL) (Away)
Result: Loss
Milwaukee won't have Lillard back on Monday, but I still favor the visitors' side. Phoenix has caught fire recently, but, aside from the win against Cleveland, it's been against poor competition. The Suns' defense is still lackluster, and Giannis has dominated their defense the last two seasons, scoring 34 and 36 in the previous matchups. Phoenix ranks 23rd in rim defense and 18th in three-point defense, while Milwaukee is 10th in rim scoring and 3rd in 3PT%. On the other end of the court, the Bucks can hold the Suns in check. The visitors are 4th in opponent effective field goal percentage, including 5th in three-point defense.
