Bucks vs Suns Prediction
The Bucks have lost four straight games, and it’s hard to get behind them with a steep line given their form and the fact they’re still without Lillard. However, the Suns are back to being stuck in the suck, and now they’re down Durant. The Suns just can’t catch a break, and they’re on the road where they’ve lost 25 times. The Suns are 29-45-1 ATS on the season. If the Bucks don’t win this game, and win comfortably, it may be time to hit the panic button. I don’t love the line given the way the Bucks have played this week, but this is a fade of the Suns.
