The current betting odds have the Bucks listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks have looked good in their games this season with their 40-34 record overall which has them in the top half of the East and in a playoff spot. They have also looked good on their home court this year with their 23-14 home record. Meanwhile, the Suns haven't looked good in their games this season with their 35-40 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West and out of a playoff spot. They have also been a terrible road team this year with their 12-25 road record. They are right in the race for the last play-in spot, but they haven't been doing themselves any favors lately. They are 5-5 in their last 10 games and have lost 3 games in a row now. The Bucks haven't looked any better lately as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games and have lost 4 games in a row now, but they are going to be desperate to stop the bleeding here. They were just embarrassed on their home court by the Hawks in their last one and even though they aren't at risk of losing their playoff spot since the next team behind them is under .500, they are still fighting for seeding and need to break out of this funk for the playoffs. They can take advantage of how bad the Suns have been in road games this season, and they just lost Kevin Durant to an injury in their last game so that is a big blow for them. The Bucks haven't looked good at all lately, but this is a great situation for them to bounce back at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.

"Everybody has to step up, starting with myself. The exact opposite of what went down tonight. We have it in the locker room, and we just have to pull it out." - Devin Booker on the injury to Kevin Durant.

“It’s disappointing. It’s deflating because every possession early on, it’s only one guy (Young). But that guy’s different. It’s just really frustrating. There’s something we’re doing, though, because we were bad at the beginning of the year and then we became a great transition defensive team and there’s something we have to be doing wrong for this to happen. So we have to watch film and figure it out, and that’s my job.” - Doc Rivers after his team’s loss against the Hawks in their game on Sunday.
