Predictions
The Milwaukee Bucks go up against a Suns side who have been sensational this season. Given that Bucks’ star player is returning to rhythm and considering the form the Suns are in right now, Phoenix has the slightest edge over the Bucks. This matchup has the potential to be a must-watch for all NBA fans.
Milwaukee Bucks: Injury updates and lineup prediction
The Bucks suffered a rather disappointing loss at the hands of the Grizzlies who blew out the Bucks 128-115. While their starting five had a decent game with all the players scoring in double digits, the bench absolutely fell flat against the Grizzlies, scoring a combined total of only 15 points to Memphis’ 43 points.
The Bucks face off against an in-form Suns’ side and will need to be at their best if they want to pull off a victory.

Phoenix Suns: Injury updates and lineup prediction
The Suns also suffered from an unexpected loss as the Spurs absolutely hammered them 111-85. Players like Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and DeAndre Ayton played fewer minutes and let the game slip away from their grasp.
The Suns will be missing rotational guard Abdel Nader, who is recovering from a knee injury. Apart from Nader, the Suns have a relatively healthy side available against the Bucks.
Phoenix will be eager to get back to their form and win their next game. But the Milwaukee Bucks are no flukes and have a solid team at their disposal. Fans are in for a rather intriguing matchup.
