NBA 2018-19: Predicted Starting Lineups and Match Prediction - Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns

The Milwaukee Bucks continue their Western Conference road trip as they visit the lowly Phoenix Suns. The Bucks are coming off a loss against the Utah Jazz. On the other hand, the Suns surprisingly won against the Los Angeles Lakers in their last encounter.

The Bucks are the best team in the NBA at the moment. They have a 48-15 record and are the first team to qualify for the playoffs. They also hold the best road record in the NBA.

The Bucks have been superbly led by Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis is having an elite MVP-like season. He is averaging 27.1 points, 12.6 rebounds and 6 assists per game for the season on an outstanding 58% shooting from the floor.

Giannis has received great support from his fellow All-Star teammate, Khris Middleton. Malcolm Brogdon is the only player in the NBA this season who is putting up 50-90-40 shooting numbers. Eric Bledsoe has also been instrumental to the Bucks' success this season.

The Suns are struggling and have no chance of making the playoffs. They have the worst record in the NBA despite winning their last match.

Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton are the two players that the franchise is going to build around. They are having very good individual seasons. Kelly Oubre Jr. has also slotted in seamlessly for the Suns.

Here are the predicted starting lineups for the two teams:

Milwaukee Bucks: Eric Bledsoe (PG), Malcolm Brogdon (SG), Khris Middleton (SF), Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF), Brook Lopez (C).

Phoenix Suns: Tyler Johnson (PG), Devin Booker (SG), Kelly Oubre Jr. (SF), Dragan Bender (PF), DeAndre Ayton (C).

Match Prediction:

The Milwaukee Bucks are playing outstanding basketball at the moment. They also have the best road record in the NBA. The Phoenix Suns are struggling for consistency and will have their hands full against this Bucks side.

I predict that the Bucks will have a comfortable win against the Suns.
