Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns: Current situation
With 4 defeats on the bounce it is looking more likely by the day that the Milwaukee Bucks will have to settle for the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference. As things stand that would pit them against the New York Knicks in the first round, a match-up that they unfortunately cannot win without Damian Lillard. Giannis Antetokounmpo is doing his best to keep the ship afloat, but long gone are the days when he could carry a franchise on his own.
The Suns would be happy to be in Milwaukee’s position right now. They’re 1.5 games back of the Sacramento Kings in 11th place in the Western Conference standings, with just 7 games remaining they need a lot to go their way if they want to secure one of the remaining play-in tournament spots. To make matters worse, the Suns have the hardest remaining schedule out of all 30 teams, so the odds are not stacked in their favor right now.
Milwaukee Bucks Stats & Form
Sunday saw the Bucks get annihilated by the Atlanta Hawks at home 145-124 in what was a very unusual game from Milwaukee’s perspective. The defense was nowhere to be seen as Atlanta shot over 53% from the field and also knocked down 17 threes on 35% shooting. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kyle Kuzma were the two bright spots for the Bucks starters, while Kevin Porter Jr. added 28 off the bench.
Phoenix Suns Stats & Form
Phoenix had a similar game on Sunday as they got destroyed by the Houston Rockets 148-109 at home. It was their 3rd game in a row where they allowed at least 124 points, the Rockets shot over 57% from the field and 58% from three. No matter how much talent you have on your roster it is hard to win games when the opponent gets whatever they want on offense against you.

Betting tip and prediction: Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns (01.04.2025)
Both the Suns and Bucks have had their fair share of struggles recently, mostly due to injuries. Milwaukee lost its 2nd best player Damian Lillard to blood clots, while the Suns have been without Bradley Beal for an extended period of time. Bad habits on defense have been hard to overcome for the Suns, their last 3 games have seen them allow 148, 124 and 132 points. Even with a healthy Kevin Durant and a productive Devin Booker they just haven’t been able to keep up with the high scoring of the Rockets, Timberwolves and Celtics. Playing the shorthanded Bucks will be a slightly easier task, but that doesn’t guarantee a positive result. Giannis Antetokounmpo and co. also have their backs against the wall, allowing 145 points to the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday was not a good look. With the future of Lillard in doubt, for this season, the Bucks will have to find other ways to turn things around. Getting Bobby Portis Jr. back from his suspension will be beneficial, but this team is a likely 1st round exit if they even make the postseason without playing in the play-in tournament. The good news ahead of Tuesday’s meeting is the fact that they’ve won 6 straight home games against the Phoenix Suns at home. They’ve also covered in 5 of 6 vs Pacific teams overall, while the Suns have lost 7 of 8 on the road overall. We are backing Milwaukee to cover here.
