The Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns meet in game 2 of the NBA Finals at the Phoenix Suns Arena. The Bucks need a win to avoid going down 0-2 in the series. As a team, the Bucks are putting up 109.6 points a game and are shooting 46 percent from the field and 31.9 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 104.5 points and their opponents are shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from deep. The offense is led by Giannis Antetokounmpo with 27.7 points and 12.9 rebounds a game. Khris Middleton adds 23.7 points and five assists.

The Phoenix Suns easily took Game 1 and would like to leave Phoenix up 2-0. As a team, they are putting up 109.4 points a game and they are shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 37 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 102.1 points a game and their opponents are shooting 43.1 from the field and 33.3 percent from deep. The offense is led by Devin Booker with 27 points and 4.8 assists a game while Chris Paul adds 19 points and 3.9 rebounds.

The Bucks are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games as an underdog and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Suns are 35-16 ATS in their last 51 home games and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Antetokounmpo played well in his return and should be better today as long as his knee is not suffering any effects from Game 1. The Bucks shot well from deep and still struggled in the game. The Bucks need to defend the pick and roll better if they are to have a chance. Suns have covered in 11 of their past 14 and I like them to cover again in this one.

Play on Phoenix.
