Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns NBA Preview
Tonight, the NBA TV marquee matchup features the Suns at home against the Bucks. This should be an intriguing affair, where the Suns are at a point in which every game is a must-win. The Bucks, on the other hand go into this one a little banged-up, with star point guard Damian Lillard already been ruled out tonight.
Brook Lopez can be seen as a streaky shooter. However, I think tonight provides a matchup where he will thrive. He will most likely be guarded by either Nick Richards or Mason Plumlee, who are both interior focused defenders. This will create opportunities for Brook to be a pick-and-pop kind of player tonight.
In addition, with the absence of Lillard, we have to expect Lopez to have more shot opportunities. In the Bucks' latest game against the Kings, Brook covered this line shooting 3-of-6 from three-point range and ending with 21 points.
Devin Booker has averaged 9.7 assists per game in his last five games for the Suns. He has benefited from Bradley Beal missing a few games recently, and Beal has also already been ruled out tonight.
Booker's efficiency has also skyrocketed during this time, and last game he notched 10 assists on a whopping 17 potentials. Tonight’s matchup is also very favorable, as the Bucks rank bottom-10 when it comes to allowing assists to shooting guards. I see Booker thriving in a must win home game tonight.
Last but not least, the Under. The Under is the negative correlation aspect of this play. The same play with the Over comes out to around +960, while the Under results in more than double the odds.
In a game where Splash Mountain hits his threes, Booker keeps up the assists, and we get some defensive help, I think there's a good chance of us cashing this negative correlation parlay tonight.
