Ilyasova and Sanders are both injured still, but other players have stepped up. Jabari Parker is also out for the season for Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<p>Antetokounmpo and Middleton have both been having a good season. Knight leads the team in points (18.0 PPG) and assists (5.1 APG). He\u2019s the veteran on this team and his usage rate is through the roof.<\/p>\n<p>When Knight is on his game the Bucks usually win because he does so much on the floor. He dishes it out well, he can shoot anywhere on the court and he\u2019s also averaging over a steal per game this season.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63727&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The Bucks are below average in scoring (99.0 PPG \u2013 20th) and rebounds (41.1 RPG \u2013 25th), but they rank 9th in assists (22.9 APG) and 12th in points allowed (98.7 PPG). I\u2019ve been impressed with their defense.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll need to rely on defense in this match-up because the Suns rank 4th in points (107.2 PPG). Phoenix can score, but they only average 42.2 RPG (18th) and 21.0 APG (16th) while giving up 104.7 PPG (28th).<\/p>\n<p>Phoenix is similar to Milwaukee in a lot of ways except they\u2019re better in most categories. Bledsoe leads the team in points (16.7 PPG) and assists (5.9 APG). The offense typically runs through him.<\/p>\n<p>The Morris brothers are putting up big numbers this year as well. Both are scoring an average of 10+ PPG while Markieff leads the team in rebounds (5.2 RPG). The Suns really need to work on rebounding.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63741&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be on the Suns to cover the point spread in this match-up. Their road splits (11-9) are actually strong and they\u2019re one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. They have way too much depth for the Bucks.<\/p>\n<h3>Free 4* NBA Picks: Phoenix Suns vs. Milwaukee Bucks<\/h3>\n<p>These teams played each other three times in 2014 and the Suns went 2-1 (2-1 ATS). They covered two big spreads and this spread is definitely manageable, especially against a banged up Bucks squad.<\/p>\n<p><b>Phoenix Suns \u20134 (-110)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I expect Knight and Pachulia to have big games, so target them in fantasy if you\u2019re playing the short slate tonight. I\u2019ll have my money on the Suns, but from a fantasy standpoint I\u2019ll likely avoid most of them.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"NBA Betting Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nba.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated NBA Betting Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=64991&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBA Gambling: Phoenix vs Milwaukee Both the Phoenix Suns (20-16) and Milwaukee Bucks (18-17) would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, which is surprising.
