The Bucks took their first step towards getting back in the series by winning Game 3. However, their defeat in Game 4 will be a verdict for the Wisconsin team - the Suns will not lose three times in a row. Let's pick a few bets on the key game of the season for Milwaukee.
Milwaukee won't give up their game in the series
Although the Suns were considered the favorites to win the Finals before the series began, and they continue to be so thanks to a lead 2-1, Milwaukee remains a very tough opponent. Mike Budenholzer's team had been on their way to lead this series for several years and, as the third game showed, it just wouldn't be easy. The Bucks won the first game on their at home with ease - 120-100. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 41 points, Jrue Holiday scored 21, and Chris Middleton 18 points.
Phoenix is in control of the game
Despite the loss in the previous game, the Suns lead the series, and a win at Game 4 would virtually guarantee the Arizona team the title. Moreover, even if they lose in the upcoming game their standings will be unaffected. Phoenix looks extremely convincing playing at home in this playoff series, Game 5 and Game 7, if necessary - will be played at the Suns' home arena. Chris Paul is closer than ever to the long-awaited championship victory with only 2 games left to win.
Experts betting tips
It looks like it's going to be a long series. After two victories for Phoenix at home, the Bucks were just as strong in game three. Our prediction is that the Bucks will pull through the series. The great motivation that the team has plus Giannis' superiority in the three-point zone will be key to Milwaukee's success.
