Taurean Prince played a scoreless 18 minutes for the Bucks in his first game since undergoing surgery in mid-November to repair a herniated disc in his neck. Phoenix's Jordan Goodwin scored six points in 13 minutes after missing 2 1/2 weeks with a left calf strain.
Milwaukee's Kevin Porter Jr. missed a fourth straight game with swelling in his right knee. The Bucks also didn't have Bobby Portis (thoracic spine bruise) or Jericho Sims (right patella tendinitis).
