The Bucks vs Suns live stream starts tonight at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT (Thursday, July 8).
It will air on ABC and ESPN3, the latter is available on Sling TV, currently on sale down to $10 for the first month.
The Bucks vs Suns live stream is here, and the conversation is about how tightly Milwaukee can guard Chris Paul. Because unless they can shut down CP3's performance, the Suns' leader will bring Phoenix to a 2-0 series lead, halfway to his first NBA Championship. Even the Suns' coach's father, Vince Budenholzer, is becoming outspoken about stifling Paul in tonight's NBA playoffs live stream.
The Bucks got what they wished for before Game 1. Antetokounmpo, their star and two-time MVP, was cleared to play after hyperextending his knee in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Not only did he play, but he played well: scoring 20 points with 17 rebounds in 35 minutes. So the Bucks can check "The Greek Freak" being 100% healthy off their list of Finals wishes. Next wish, trying to limit Chris Paul.

After 15 years in the league and 22 playoff series, Paul is finally playing in an NBA Finals. He did not disappoint in his first Finals game Tuesday night. The 36-year-old scored a game-high 32 points on 12-for-19 shooting while recording nine assists and helped lead a Suns attack that saw five players finish with 10 or more points. Despite waiting his entire career for this moment, Paul kept things in perspective after the game saying, “this is just one game. We got to stay locked in.”
Suns center Deandre Ayton was one player who was certainly locked in during Game 1. The 2018 number one overall pick scored 22 points while pulling down 19 rebounds. Devin Booker also played in his first Finals game scoring 27 points including a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line.
Phoenix hosts Game 2 as 4.5-point favorites. The over/under is 221 points.
