Milwaukee Bucks at Phoenix Suns odds, picks and predictions
The Milwaukee Bucks (33-17) finish a 5-game road trip on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns (29-21) at Footprint Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let's analyze FanDuel Sportsbook's lines around the Bucks vs. Suns odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.
Season series: First meeting; Bucks won 2-0 in 2022-23
Milwaukee had an epic collapse in Salt Lake City on Sunday night against the Utah Jazz. The Bucks led 95-83 heading into the 4th quarter, but were outscored 40-13 and took a 123-108 loss. What looked like an easy cover as 2.5-point underdogs turned into a nightmare for Milwaukee side bettors. The Under (249.5) ended up easily cashing.
Phoenix rolled up a 140-112 win in the nation's capital against the Washington Wizards on Sunday, covering as an 11-point road favorite as the Over (240) cashed. Phoenix has won 3 of the past 4 games on its trip, while also going 3-1 against the spread (ATS). The Under has cashed in 8 of the past 11 games for the Suns.

Bucks at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 121, Bucks 119
Moneyline
The SUNS (-174) are a little on the pricey side, but they're worth a play as the home side against a Bucks (+144) which might have some confidence issues after an epic collapse. And Milwaukee also has injury issues, especially if Dame cannot go.
The Suns posted a 4-3 SU/ATS mark in the team's 7-game road trip from Jan. 24-Feb. 4, and Phoenix is likely glad to be back for some home cooking. The Suns have won 3 in a row at home since Jan. 7, and 2 of the 3 wins are against winning teams.
Against the spread
The BUCKS +4 (-110) are worth a play despite the ugly finish in Salt Lake City last time out.
While 4 points isn't a lot, it's hard to trust the Suns -4 (-110) to cover at home. Phoenix has won 3 in a row on its home floor, but it is just 0-3-1 ATS in the past 4 games at home.
Over/Under
UNDER 243.5 (-110) is worth a look in the Valley of the Sun, as this is an awfully high number.
The Under is on a 8-3 roll across the past 11 games for the Suns, while going 4-for-4 in the past 4 outings for the Bucks. The Under is 8-1 in the past 9 games on the road for Milwaukee, too. The total went low in each of the 2 meetings last season.
