The Phoenix Suns are on the road on Tuesday night as they look to end their losing streak against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Phoenix enters Tuesday's game amid a three-game losing streak and they have lost five of their last 10 games.
To make matters worse for the Suns they will be without Kevin Durant on Tuesday night and for at least a week due to a left ankle sprain and Bradley Beal is listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury.
For the Bucks, they received some positive news ahead of Tuesday's game as head coach Doc rivers announced that their star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will play against the Suns.

Of course, Giannis was listed as probable for Tuesday's contest due to a foot sprain but despite that, he will play against the Suns as the Bucks try to end their losing skid.
Milwaukee enters Tuesday's game having lost four consecutive games and six of their last 10 contests so it is great for them that Giannis is available, especially with Damian Lillard out.
Lillard remains out of the lineup due to a blood clot in his calf that has him sidelined indefinitely, which has hurt the Bucks immensely.
While the Bucks have struggled at time this season, Giannis has been great as the 30-year-old superstar is averaging 30.2 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 60.1% from the field.
Milwaukee has fallen to sixth in the Eastern Conference standings amid their losing streak and they desperately need to pick up a victory against the Suns on Tuesday.
Of course, the Suns are also in desperate need for a victory as they currently sit 11th in the Western Conference standings and one game behind the Sacramento Kings for the final Play-In spot with the playoffs right around the corner.
Fans can catch Tuesday's matchup between the Suns and Bucks at 7:30 p.m. EST.
