The Bucks are sliding and everyone can see it, from the fans to the biggest experts in the NBA Power Rankings.

“The Bucks got a much-needed 10-point win over the Suns to break a four-game losing streak. Of the remaining schedule, this is the most winnable game outside of a road game at New Orleans. The 76ers have dropped nine straight games and I don’t see that changing here after three straight double-digit losses. It’s Bucks or pass.”

On Thursday night against the 76ers, Antetokounmpo was certainly able to carry the offensive load. In fact, he had a historic night in a game that the Bucks needed to win. Antetokounmpo finished the game with 35 points, 17 rebounds, and 20 rebounds in this game. He is the only person to ever have that stat line in a single game.

Head coach Doc Rivers didn't take the court for this game due to an illness, but he still got credit for the victory. As a result, he's now seventh in all-time coaching wins in NBA history by passing the legendary Phil Jackson.

NBA oddsmakers opened Milwaukee as a 6.5-point home favorite, and that jumped to as high as -7 before buyback on the Suns slid this spread to Bucks -5.5. According to Covers Consensus, 67% of picks are laying the points with Milwaukee while 67% of total picks are siding with the Over.

The Suns are currently 12-25 on the road with a point differential of -2, while the Bucks have a 5-5 record in their last ten games at home. Phoenix won 108-106 in the only meeting of the season on March 24, which was the Suns’ last win.
