Command Analysis
Phoenix players got off to a great start of the series and secured a 118:105 victory in the first match. A great teamwork of Paul-Booker-Ayton trio became a key factor of Suns' success. Chris and Devin were extremely efficient under the opponent's rim. They have scored 59 points combined. DeAndre collected everything under the rim and had 19 rebounds.
We should note that Suns played nine home matches during the current playoffs and had only two defeats.
In the previous match Giannis Antetokounmpo got back on the court. But it looks like he is not at 100% condition yet. In the first match he played 35 minutes. In that time he scored only 20 points, 17 rebounds and four assists. As we see, the Greek player did a great job on the defensive end, but failed on the offense.
We should mention that in the previous series against Atlanta Mike Budenholzer's team also lost the first game, but managed to take their revenge after this. They destroyed the Hawks by the 125:91 score.

Tip and bets
In the first match of the series, Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't have the best game. Moreover, Milwaukee players have underestimated Chris Paul. They thought that veteran won't be able to play great for the entire match, so nobody guarded him so tight.
Without a doubt, Bucks will play better now. They will probably close Chris Paul down and that should help the Bucks to get the positive result. With that being said, we think that Mike Budenholzer's players will be able to level the score in the series.
Our prediction - Milwaukee to win (Including OT)
In the previous match a final total of points was at 223. We believe that this game will be high-scoring as well. Milwaukee needs to level the score, so they will try to play it quick this time. It should lead to a high score.
Our second prediction - total over 215,5 points
