Bucks vs. Suns: Bettors Leaning Towards Milwaukee
Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 54% of public bettors are currently backing the Suns when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Antetokounmpo Probable for Tuesday’s Game
Giannis Antetokounmpo (right knee patellar tendinitis) and Andre Jackson Jr. (right wrist sprain) are probable for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.
Antetokounmpo has dealt with patellar tendinitis for a few days but still took on a heavy workload in Sunday’s loss to the Jazz. He should be in the starting lineup, with Bobby Portis and Jae Crowder being in the mix to start if Giannis sits. As for Jackson, his status will not impact fantasy basketball, as his role within the rotation has been limited.
Durant Leads Suns with 35 Points
Kevin Durant led the Suns with 35 points (14-of-24 FGs), eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and five 3-pointers in a 129-120 loss to the Hawks on Friday.
Durant was able to provide excellent value across the board in this game and came close to recording his second triple-double of the season. His five 3-pointers were his second most this season, as he has hit six on two separate occasions. This was also his second straight 30-point game after not doing much scoring over his previous four games. Durant has once again provided first round value this season, and he has been able to stay healthy for most of the year. He’ll look to keep this going in Washington on Sunday as they wrap up a seven-game roadtrip.
