Following the close loss in Charlotte on Friday night, the Milwaukee Bucks return home for an all-important contest against Amare Stoudemire and the streaking Suns.
The Phoenix Suns face-off against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night with tip-off set for 8:35 p.m. (ET).
Both teams enter off road games last night with Phoenix taking out a disinterested Pistons team, 109-94, and Milwaukee losing a close one in Charlotte, 87-86.
Phoenix has posted a 24-5 straight up record since the latter part of January which includes a current run of 10 straight wins after rolling the Pistons on Friday night. This game gives the Bucks a situational advantage and one that just might end that winning streak.

The Suns have struggled this season when playing the second of back-to-backs on the highway, going 3-8 against the number. Milwaukee, on the other hand, has been money for its supporters when playing the backend of a back-to-back, going an amazing 16-3 against the spread in the last 19 situations.
One final technical note: The Bucks are 25-8 ATS when facing teams that allow 99 or more points per game on the season.
With solid situational and technical support for the host we will back them here as they end the straight up run for the Suns at ten games. Lay the short number with a solid home team as the Bucks grab a very important win on Saturday night.
