Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks Game 5 prediction

With a deadlock in the series, both the teams are back to square one. Interestingly, this is the first time Suns have lost back-to-back games in the playoffs since Games 2 and 3 to the Los Angeles Lakers in Round 1.

The Milwaukee Bucks have gained momentum and the odds are now starting to favor the Bucks, it seems. But the Suns won the first two games at home, so as long as Chris Paul stops turning over the ball, the Suns could bounce back with another win at home.
