PHX vs MIL Dream11: Trades, trades, trades. By now, my head has been spinning all around as I see the bizarre number of trades that keep on piling. And you know what, we do this every season around this deadline period. Probably the busiest period for insiders, writers, and readers of the league. And well, there are too many trades as I write and by the time you will read this, the deadline may have been closed. Anyway, let us into this game as the last season finals Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks meet but the weight of the game is overshadowed by the trade deadline.
The Suns have been making noise throughout the season. They have been going about their business since the beginning and they have been on two 10+ game-winning streaks already. As of now, they are on a three-game winning streak, and well, they keep on piling the victories. The Suns are surely the title favorites.
Well, there is one team in Milwaukee Bucks that are certainly the title favorites. The Bucks are on a four-game winning streak and the Milwaukee squad has been cruising on offense throughout the road trip. However, they will meet a streaking Suns squad but yes, as I said before, the whole taste of the game is rather taken over by the bittersweet trade deadline. The Bucks have traded Donte DiVincenzo and Semi Ojeleye and will receive Serge Ibaka.
Host: Phoenix Suns Visitors: Milwaukee Bucks Match Timing: 11 February, @ 08:30 AM Venue: FootPrint Center
Match-ups Great match-ups all around here. What answer can the Suns find for Antetokounmpo! He is coming off a 44 points game versus the Lakers and he sure will keep big Ayton busy while Bridges and Crowder will all have to combine to stop his rim-running proclivities. The trouble is you can’t leave the rest of the unit uncovered! You have to watch out for Middleton, Holiday, and Portis, all three capable scorers on a high clip.
The Center match-up between Deandre Ayton and Bobby Portis is an exciting one as Portis has been scoring 20 or more regularly these days. Ayton has been struggling a bit since his injury but you know he is going to have a big game sooner than later. The rebounding battle is also a big once since there are brilliant rebounders in Ayton, Crowder, and Middleton. How will the rebounding battle shape up?
The Point Guard battle between Jrue Holiday and Chris Paul pitches two brilliant players against one another, both effective floor generals in their own rights. They are both also capable of closing out games and this game keeps producing exciting match-ups. Devin Booker will enter with a considerable offensive edge over Grayson Allen but yes, Allen is a fighting player through and through. What a game this can be!
