The different night time, the Milwaukee Bucks took care of an Embiid-less Philadelphia squad to get back within the W column. Now, a brand new challenger enters the sector: the Phoenix Suns. Surprisingly, each squads will enter this matchup at full energy (so long as the day-to-day guys play), so we must always hopefully be in retailer for a enjoyable one!
Where We’re At
Last time we noticed the Bucks play, they’d a reasonably strong win over Philly. Giannis had 32 factors with nice effectivity—as he typically does. Brook Lopez and Damian Lillard additionally saved the wheels turning on offense, and Jae Crowder even received some threes to fall! As enjoyable as it’s to beat Philly (and it all the time is!) I’d like to maneuver on and welcome Khris Middleton back into the rotation. He received banged up in early February on an unpleasant touchdown (in opposition to these similar Suns), and we’ve had the pleasure of watching Crowder within the beginning lineup ever since. While Crowder hasn’t been terrible, Khris undoubtedly has the next ceiling on offense, so I’m excited to see him play, even when his utilization is restricted.
The Suns enter Fiserv Forum on the final leg of a 4 game roadtrip by way of the Eastern Conference. The Suns are 2-1 of their expedition, with a 15-point loss in opposition to Boston sandwiched between wins over Cleveland and Charlotte. In their most up-to-date win over the Hornets, the celebrities had surprisingly low scoring outputs. Kevin Durant scored simply 13 factors, and Bradley Beal had 15. I’ll say, Devin Booker had 21, however in addition to that, it was loss of life by a thousand cuts. The Suns applied supremely even scoring distribution to take down the Hornets with the ability of teamwork. Every starter had double digits, and Eric Gordon (keep in mind him?) added an environment friendly 14 off the bench.
Injury Report
For the Bucks, Giannis is questionable with a left hamstring harm. Malik Beasley and MarJon Beauchamp are questionable with back spasms. Chris Livingston is out with a left ankle sprain.
On Phoenix’s facet, Damion Lee and Josh Okogie are out.
Player to Watch
As badly as I’d wish to name this a “Grayson Allen revenge game”, my participant to observe is Khris Middleton. It’s his first action shortly, and I’m to see how arduous Doc Rivers performs him at present. If Middleton’s historical past is any indication, he’ll in all probability take a number of video games to play his approach back right into a rhythm, however crazier issues have occurred.
