How do the Milwaukee Bucks slow down Suns leader Chris Paul?

‍

CP3 became just the second player to put up at least 30 points & nine assists in his Finals debut, joining Michael Jordan.

12 of his points came against Brook Lopez alone...as Paul completely exploited Milwaukee’s switching and drop coverages on defence.

And that's where Jrue Holiday comes in.

For the Bucks to steal Game 2, they need two things from Holiday: stick to Paul on defence WITHOUT switching. And be more assertive on offence.

With Giannis coming off a hyperextended knee and understandably being less aggressive than usual, Holiday has to provide offence. He had at least 25 points in both wins without Antetokounmpo in the last round…and Milwaukee needs Holiday to step up again in this series.

So, here are my picks:

Picks:

• Take the Bucks +5.5
• Holiday over 18.5 points at -120
• And Giannis over 12.5 boards at +112
