Bucks vs. Suns Prediction
A rematch of last year’s NBA Finals will take place in Phoenix on Thursday night where the Suns will host the Bucks as 3.5-point home favorites. Will the Suns cover that number or are the Bucks the better value for bettors?

Milwaukee Bucks DFS Notes
Giannis Antetokounmpo shot 17-of-20 from the field and 8-of-13 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 131-116 win over the Lakers, accumulating 44 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks, and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes. Antetokounmpo put on a show Tuesday night, dominating the Lakers to the tune of his sixth 40-point game of the season. He’s closing in on top-5 value over the last two weeks and has been a 1st-round player in 9-cat formats for the season as a whole. Antetokounmpo’s next matchup stands to be much more challenging, however, as the Bucks continue their road trip in Phoenix Thursday night.
Phoenix Suns DFS Notes
Devin Booker scored 35 points on 11-of-23 shooting (10-of-11 free throws) with four rebounds, three triples, three assists, and one steal as the Suns beat the Sixers 114-109 on Tuesday night. Booker has been on a tear in February as he had averaged 29.0 points per game in four games this month. He stayed hot in this one as he was already halfway there at the break. Booker shot 6-of-12 for 15 points with three triples to go with four rebounds and two steals in the first half. Chris Paul had a great night as well, as he put up another double-double with 16 points on 7-of-18 shooting with 12 assists, four rebounds, and two steals in 42 minutes.
Bucks vs. Suns NBA Betting Prediction
The Bucks are 4-0 in their last four games against the Suns, but are only 1-5 against the number in their last six games in Phoenix. Thus, I see more value in the over, which is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams and 5-0 in the last five meetings in Phoenix. The over is also 5-1 in the Bucks’ last six games overall, is 4-1 in their last five road games and has hit in four of the Suns’ last five games overall.
