Suns vs. Bucks Game 2 odds
During the two teams’ Game 1 matchup on Tuesday, July 6, the Suns were 5.5-point favorites as well.
A lot of that had to do with speculation that Giannis Antetokounmpo would be sitting out due to a knee injury. However, the team announced he would play just before tip-off.
The Bucks’ star player gave an impressive performance. He put up 20 points, had 17 rebounds, and didn’t seem to have any trouble getting around the court.
His strong effort just wasn’t enough to take home the victory.
The Suns beat the Bucks 118-105 in Game 1.
Phoenix has a marginal advantage over the Bucks in the second NBA Finals matchup of the series. The Suns boast a -210 moneyline at DraftKings TN, while the Bucks trail behind at +175.
The Suns enter Game 2 with another 5.5-point lead on the spread. In games this season where the Suns were a 5.5-point favorite or more, they have a 20-18-1 record against the spread.
