Suns and Bucks Tangle In Milwaukee
The Phoenix Suns take on the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on Sunday afternoon.

The Suns (20-28) have been showing signs of improvement in recent weeks, as they've forged a 6-5 record over their last 11 games. Their most recent time on the court did result in one of those losses, however, as they dropped a 111-107 decision to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night. Kelly Oubre, Jr. and Devin Booker co-led the Suns with 27 points, with Oubre also pulling down 11 rebounds. Deandre Ayton supplied 16 points, six boards, one assist and three blocks. Ty Jerome and Tyler Johnson posted matching nine-point tallies, with Jerome also furnishing four rebounds, four assists.

The Suns will continue without Aron Baynes (hip), Frank Kaminsky (knee), Dario Saric (ankle) and Cameron Johnson (quadriceps) for Sunday's game. Ricky Rubio (ankle) will be questionable, while Johnson (knee) will be probable.

The Bucks (41-7) have been as dominant as their record implies, and they just saw a nine-game winning streak snapped their last time on the court courtesy of a 127-115 defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 31 points, complementing them with 16 rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal. Khris Middleton provided 24 points, nine assists and two rebounds. Eric Bledsoe supplied 15 points, seven assists, three rebounds and two steals. Wesley Matthews poured in nine points.

The Bucks will remain without George Hill (hamstring) for Sunday's game, while Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will carry a questionable tag.

Sunday's game marks the first of two meetings between the teams this season. The Suns swept the two-game 2018-19 season series from the Bucks.
