What to Know
After a four-game homestand, the Phoenix Suns will be on the road. They will take on the Milwaukee Bucks at 3:30 p.m. ET Sunday at Fiserv Forum. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.
Phoenix skirted by the New York Knicks 115-114 this past Friday thanks to a clutch jumper from small forward Cameron Johnson with 0:01 remaining. Johnson was the offensive standout of the contest for the Suns, shooting 9-for-12 from beyond the arc and finishing with 38 points.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the Chicago Bulls this past Friday, but they still walked away with a 118-112 win. Milwaukee's power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo did his thing and posted a double-double on 34 points and 16 rebounds along with five dimes. That makes it six consecutive games in which Antetokounmpo has had at least 11 rebounds.
Phoenix is expected to lose this next one by 9. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the team is 0-3 ATS when expected to lose.
The wins brought Phoenix up to 51-12 and the Bucks to 39-25. A pair of offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Suns come into the game boasting the second highest field goal percentage in the league at 48.20%.
