The Milwaukee Bucks (13 - 12) defeated the Phoenix Suns (12 - 14) 96 - 94 on Monday. Milwaukee has won two straight over Western Conference teams whom are expected to fight for playoff spots this season. The Bucks lost Jabari Parker to a sprained left knee during the contest. Parker will undergo examination to determine the severity of the injury, but when reviewing the tape, it appears Parker may be forced to sit out for at least a few games. Milwaukee used their deep bench to gain an advantage on the thin Suns, with four of the Bucks' bench players finishing in double digits. Starting point guard Brandon Knight scored a team - high 20 points to lead the way. Phoenix is careening downhill with a six - game losing streak. They moved Alex Len into the starting center spot with Miles Plumlee moving to a bench role. Len fouled out, but put up six points, six rebounds and three blocks in 19 minutes. Goran Dragic missed a second straight game with a lower back injury, giving Gerald Green another spot start at shooting guard. Green finished with 12 points and eight rebounds in 40 minutes but shot just 3 - of - 18 from the field. Milwaukee has three games left on their road trip. They'll take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Phoenix's schedule relaxes over their next couple games, starting with Wednesday's game in Charlotte against the Hornets.
