Phoenix Suns @ Milwaukee Bucks: 3/6

Following the Bucks Friday matchup in Chicago, they get a taste of the league’s top team, the Phoenix suns. This is just the second time these teams will matchup since the 2021 NBA Finals.

One important thing to note here is that Chris Paul (thumb) will not play. The key for Milwaukee here is to slow down Devin Booker and the Suns’ 3-point shooting. With Chris Paul being out, the Bucks can’t let this opportunity slip.

This game should make for a wild and hungry atmosphere at the fiserv. Last matchup between these teams, Giannis Antetokounmpo only had 18 points on 5-for-14 shooting with seven boards and eight assists. Given the performances Antetokounmpo has put on the Suns in their last 10 meetings, be expecting a huge bounce back game from Giannis and the Bucks. You can catch this game at 2:30 PM CST on ABC.

Milwaukee Bucks @ Golden State Warriors: 3/12

Another one of the games you should look out for is the Bucks Warriors matchup on Saturday, March 12th.

Milwaukee will get a look at Warriors guard Klay Thompson for the first time since 2019-2020 season. The Bucks will have their hands full with the “splash bros”. The Warriors are currently 43-20 and they have the league’s second-best record. Once again, a win against a top team like the Warriors gives a boost of momentum and confidence for the Bucks before the playoffs.

The Bucks will have to tighten up their defense in this matchup as they have given up the most 3-pointers in the entire league this season. Giving a team like Golden State the opportunity to take open quality looks from 3 could end in disaster quickly for Milwaukee. This game will also air on ABC at 7:30 PM CST.
