Milwaukee Bucks Preview
The Milwaukee Bucks are unbeaten in the month of February, and have won their last five games in a row.
The Eastern Conference heavyweights have been ruthless at both ends of the court this season, scoring 121.3 points and allowing just 111 per game. They have the best offense in the league, which will, however, be tested against a formidable Phoenix Suns defense.
In addition to reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday have been key players for the Bucks this season, averaging 20 and 16 points per game respectively.
Key Player - Giannis Antetokounmpo
The 'Greek Freak' has been tearing defenses apart this season, averaging an incredible 27 points, 11 rebounds and five assists per game. He is also doing well on the defensive side of the ball, averaging a steal and 1.3 blocks per match.
It looks like Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to be in the conversation for the MVP award once again; so far, he has looked like a deserving candidate for the same.
Milwaukee Bucks Predicted Lineup
G - Bryn Forbes, G - Donte DiVincenzo, F- Khris Middleton, F - Giannis Antetokounmpo, C- Brook Lopez.

Phoenix Suns Preview
Following a shock loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on February 3rd, the Phoenix Suns are on a 3-game winning streak.
The gritty Phoenix Suns defense has allowed the opposition to score only 107 points per game so far this season, which is good for the fourth-best defense in the league.
Veteran point guard Chris Paul has been an incredible presence on the court for the Phoenix Suns, averaging 16 points and dishing out eight assists per game.
Key Player - Devin Booker
After missing a few games due to a hamstring injury, Devin Booker has continued to torment NBA defenses like he did at the start of the season.
He is averaging 23 points per game, while also adding some playmaking to his repertoire. Booker has dished out 4.3 assists per game, while stealing the ball once per match.
With Booker coming up against a tough Milwaukee Bucks team, Monty Williams will be expecting a big game from the player.
Phoenix Suns Predicted Lineup
G - Chris Paul, G - Devin Booker, F - Mikal Bridges, F - Frank Kaminsky, C - DeAndre Ayton.
Bucks vs Suns Match Prediction
The Milwaukee Bucks are a strong contender for the NBA championship, and are expected to come out of the East this season.
The Phoenix Suns, meanwhile, are a well-drilled team as well. But it is unlikely they will prevail over the Bucks, who should be able to take care of business at the Phoenix Suns Arena.
