Suns vs Bucks Picks and Predictions: Bucks Get By Without Giannis (Covers.com)

NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Phoenix Suns at Milwaukee Bucks on February 26. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.

At home, however, they have gone 20-10 (66.7%) to the Over, the second-highest rate of Overs in that split. [Chris Paul](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/1771/chris-paul) may also see his impact reduced, as he will have the displeasure of being followed around by Holiday. The return of [Devin Booker](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/384/devin-booker) this month has been a massive help on the offensive end, but he is still finding his footing after returning from a two-month hiatus. They have fared well on just one day of rest, having gone 24-16 (60.0%) in that split — the fifth-best record in the NBA. They have been favored in every game at home, and have gone 19-11 ATS (63.3%) in that situation. [Jae Crowder](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/578/jae-crowder), the Bucks' trade deadline acquisition, made his debut by chipping in nine points (2-of-2 from three-point range). [Milwaukee Bucks](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/teams/main/milwaukee-bucks) have been unbeatable. [Bobby Portis](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/424/bobby-portis), who was a top Sixth Man of the Year candidate before missing time due to injury, returned on Friday night and contributed 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting while grabbing 11 boards. Giannis Antentkounmpo and [Khris Middleton](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/284/khris-middleton) returned from injury on January 23rd, and the wins have been piling on uninterruptedly since. He is not expected to play in Sunday's game, a rematch of the NBA Finals during which the superstar cemented his legacy. The Bucks are winners of 13 straight after blowing out the Heat, but lost Giannis Antetokounmpo after he sustained a knee injury in his first game back from a wrist injury. While they await Durant's debut as he recovers from a knee injury, they have also been doing a good amount of winning on the court as well, taking 12 of their last 16 overall.

Physical flashback to 2021 Finals ends with narrow Suns loss to Bucks (Arizona Sports)

Even with Jae Crowder in a different jersey, it was hard not to be reminded of the Phoenix Suns' six-game classic in the 2021 NBA Finals.

On a few of those plays, Ross was still trying to figure out the situational switching the Suns do. As anyone would have guessed, Crowder embraced the game’s physicality, taking every opportunity to produce contact and get an extra shove in while talking to anyone on Phoenix within an earshot. [As I wrote on Friday](https://arizonasports.com/story/3508559/phoenix-suns-depth-steps-up-produces-in-win-over-thunder/), I’m buying stock on how much of a positive contributor he could be overall beyond his scoring and shooting. Phoenix doubled him at the elbow, as they should, and then Middleton made a great pass to a rolling Brook Lopez to put the Bucks back up two. You’ll remember second-chance points plaguing the Suns in the 2021 Finals but they split that battle 16-16 and were +10 overall in rebounding. Holiday, however, had none of it, denying the switch and forcing a Booker turnover. He was at 22 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks. Milwaukee, however, responded with a 10-2 run that included back-to-back triples for Crowder to tie it at 3:11 on the scoreboard. Okogie ripped three steals to go with his seven rebounds and 11 points. Khris Middleton was who it was drawn up for, and again, rewinding to the Finals, he was “the guy” for Milwaukee late. His third straight field goal in three trips down the floor at 5:47 left put the Suns up eight. That brought on overcommitments their way from the Bucks’ defense which led to openings for Deandre Ayton.
