Bucks vs. Suns prediction and odds for Tuesday, March 14 (Bucks keep rolling)

The Milwaukee Bucks just keep winning, taking down the Sacramento Kings in a thrilling game on Monday night.

Giannis Antetokounmpo returned to the lineup, scoring 46 points in the win and moving Milwaukee to 14-5-2 against the spread as a road favorite this season.

Now, the Bucks are slight favorites against the Phoenix Suns, who lost on the road to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.

This is a rematch of the 2021 NBA Finals, and both of these teams have their sights set on the Finals again this season.

Let’s dive into the odds and a pick for this game:

Bucks vs. Suns odds, spread and total

Bucks vs. Suns prediction and pick

This line could move if either team decides to sit players on the second night of a back-to-back, but I have to back Milwaukee in this spot with the chance that Giannis plays.

The Bucks are on fire over their last 10 games, ranking first in the NBA in net rating despite Giannis missing several of those contests.

Meanwhile, Phoenix is just 1-2 since Kevin Durant went down with an ankle injury, and the Suns just lack the depth that the Bucks have following the Durant trade.

Milwaukee is an insane 20-5 when Khris Middleton plays this season, and it’s dominated on the road, going 21-13 straight up. They’ve also gone a perfect 8-0-1 against the spread on the second night of a back-to-back this season.

I’ll back the Bucks to win this game against a Phoenix team that is just 4-5 ATS on the second night of a back-to-back this season.
