    Bucks Take On Suns in Late Night Fire Fight

    As former Brewers’ outfielder Trent Grisham once said, “Winning is fun.”  Wednesday night’s late matchup sees two of the hottest teams in the league squaring off against each other.

    The Bucks stand at 16-8, and are winners of five in a row.  The Suns are 14-9 and have won three straight games, and six of their last seven.

    Winning Using Different Strategies

    The Milwaukee Bucks once again have the highest-scoring offense in the NBA.  They are averaging a league-best 121.3 points per game.  The Suns, however, average just 109.8, 23rd in the league.  On the flipside, the Suns have the fourth-best defense in the NBA, allowing just 107.0 points per game.  The Bucks rank 14th, allowing a little over 111 points per game.

    In other words, what fans will see on Wednesday night is one of the league’s best offenses taking on one of the league’s best defenses.  So far this season, the Suns are 3-4 against top 10 offenses.  The Bucks are 3-5 against top 10 defenses this season.

    Players to Watch

    The Bucks, of course, have to All-Star caliber players leading them.  Giannis Antetokuonmpo and Khris Middleton both will be factors in this game.  However, in the absence of Jrue Holiday, it will be important for Bryn Forbes to step up once again.  In the Bucks’ last game, a win against Denver, Forbes got the start in place of Holiday, who is out due to COVID protocol.  Forbes scored 15 points in 26 minutes on 6/9 shooting.  This included shooting 3/6 from beyond the arc.

    For the Suns, an interesting player to watch will be former Wisconsin Badger Frank Kaminsky.  This past offseason, it seemed as if the former first-round pick would be without a team.  However, he ended up back in Phoenix and has been a solid contributor in a mostly bench role.  However, Kaminsky started the Suns’ last game, scoring nine points in 29 minutes.

    The facet of the game that makes Kaminsky challenging for the Bucks is that he can stretch the floor, forcing Giannis and/or Brook Lopez to exit the paint in coverage.  For a Bucks’ team that struggles in defending the three, this could be a game-changer in favor of the Suns.
