Before they flipped the script and dominated the second half by 65-47 to escape with the narrow win on the road.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in great form as they’ve won four of their last five games overall and they will be aiming for a fourth straight victory after routing the Cavaliers in a 123-112 home win on Friday. Kevin Durant led the team with 42 points, six rebounds, and eight assists on 17 of 29 shooting, Devin Booker added 17 points with 10 assists, Tyus Jones scored 16 points off the bench while Royce O’Neale chipped in with 15 points.

Before the Suns exploded for 36 points in the third quarter to push the lead out to 21 points. Durant was in a mood all night on his way to 42 points, but he had plenty of help as the Suns had a total of six players finishing in double figures in scoring. The Suns will meet the Celtics and Timberwolves after this game.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Suns rank 29th in the league for opponent turnovers per game this season (12.2).
• The Bucks rank 30th in the league for offensive rebounds per game this season (8.5).
• The Bucks rank 2nd in the league for opponent blocks per game this season (4.0).

The Bucks could be short-handed once again with Damian Lillard listed as day to day with a calf injury, while the Suns are still missing Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen, and Mason Plumlee. The Bucks haven’t been at their best lately, but they’ve been relatively healthy and should be full of confidence after beating the Kings in a nice comeback victory on Saturday.

In contrast, the Suns are starting to heat up, and they must be full of confidence after smashing the red-hot Cavaliers in their last outing. The Suns should be well-rested as they haven’t played since Friday, which was also a home game, so I will back the Suns to keep the good times going with another win at home.
