Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction

The Phoenix Suns are always attractive in the underdog role because of the top end talent, and they did beat the Bucks a month ago. However, this will be the Sun’s fourth straight road game, they’ve played a lot of basketball lately and this is an early start for a team on west coast time. The Milwaukee Bucks are 26-7 SU at home, and they’re expected to have Khris Middleton back. The Bucks have won 7 of the last 9 games against the Suns, and we’re only laying a bucket here. Hard to turn down the Bucks in this spot.
