Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns Prediction: Combined starting 5 featuring Giannis Antetokounmpo and Chris Paul

Forward – Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks)

Khris Middleton has also been instrumental in the Milwaukee Bucks' improved form in recent weeks. The Bucks have had a stuttering start to the season but appear set to mount a serious title charge this time around, something both Middleton and Jrue Holiday are going to have much to do with, along with Giannis.

Khris Middleton has been astute on both ends of the court, producing 20.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6 assists per game. With Jrue Holiday sitting out the match, Middleton will be looking to lead his team to yet another victory, alongside current NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Forward – Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks)

The Greek Freak is one of the most prolific scorers around, and looks determined to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to the NBA championship. He is currently producing 27.1 points, 5.6 assists and 11.1 rebounds per game, numbers that he might even end up improving upon.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is lethal defensively as well, averaging a steal and more than 1 block per game. While the Phoenix Suns certainly have the players to hurt the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis might as well take over, with good effect.

Center – DeAndre Ayton (Phoenix Suns)

Much of the Phoenix Suns’ defensive resilience is due to the presence of the number 1 pick of the 2018 NBA draft, DeAndre Ayton. DeAndre Ayton is producing 12.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, and has allowed his team’s more gifted offensive players to express themselves better.

DeAndre Ayton is currently producing 14 points and 2 assists per game, and has proved to be an all-round presence for the Phoenix Suns in the 2020-21 NBA season thus far. He takes the center position for the combined 5 of the two teams.
