LiontipsMilwaukee vs Phoenix. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Milwaukee pulled off a tremendous comeback. After two first matches they were down 0:2. But Giannis Antetokounmpo and his partners levelled the score at home and then took the lead at Arizona. Second and third quarters became fatal for the Suns. They lost them with a combined margin of 26 points. They failed to level the score and lost the game by a 123:119 score.
We should note that three players have the Bucks' victory possible - Antetokounmpo, Middleton and Holiday. That trio scored 88 points and beat Devin Booker and his partners.
This time Phoenix players were terrible on scoring two-pointers. They made just a little above than 50% of those shots. Their opponents scored more two-pointers, that's why Suns couldn't secure the win. Devin Booker played great, but his 40 points were not enough for a victory.
Sometimes it is looking like Suns players just can't handle Antetokounmpo. In all five matches of the series they failed to stop the Greek player. Some experts said that Suns players shouldn't try to stop Giannis, they should close down other Bucks' players. In this case, Williams' lads will have more chances for a win.

Tip and bets
Milwaukee is a clear favourite, but we think that you should take the risky bet. If Suns will lose, Bucks will become champions, so Williams' players will do their best to avoid the defeat.
In previous matches Milwaukee was never dominating. Even on winning matches, Bucks beat Suns by only a few points. Probably this time visitors will be more fortunate.
Our prediction - Phoenix to win (Including OT)
Phoenix has nowhere to retreat, so there is no point to sit out on defense. Suns need a win in this match, so Williams' men will try to play aggressively. In this case, opponents should beat the total of 218,5 points.
Our second bet is on total over 218,5 points
