The Phoenix Suns will be at home to welcome the Milwaukee Bucks for a mouthwatering NBA matchup. They come into this match as the sixth-best team in the Western Conference while the Bucks are third in the East. The Suns are returning home, where they are 14-11, after a seven-game road trip. They won four matches on this trip and wrapped things off with a dominant 140-112 victory over the Wizards. Their 29th win of the season, moved them eight games over .500. The Bucks and Suns are among the favourites to win the NBA title this season so this will be an exciting matchup. Phoenix, who will be without Damon Lee here, are averaging 117.3 points a game. The Suns have managed just one win in the last eight meetings with the Bucks.

The Milwaukee Bucks are struggling for form and this has seen them drop out of the top two in the Eastern Conference. They have won just two of their last six matches and collapsed last time out in Utah. Leading up until the fourth quarter, the Bucks were outgunned 40-13 by the Jazz in the final 12 minutes and lost 123-108. It was Doc Rivers’ fourth game since replacing Adrian Griffin as head coach. Things haven’t been smooth for the veteran tactician who has managed just one win. The Bucks have a longer injury report than that of Phoenix with four players listed. Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Andre Jackson, Giannis Antentokunmpo, and Damian Lillard are all listed as probable. Milwaukee has the second-best ranked offence and is averaging 123.7 points a game.
