Trail Blazers vs Bucks

Can Milwaukee continue its streak against Portland? Check out our NBA odds series for our Bucks-Trail Blazers prediction and pick.

4.5 points seems to be too small a margin, even considering how well the Trail Blazers have played. With Giannis back in the lineup, I can only expect the former-MVP to have a great performance tonight. Portland will look to attack the basket and get to the free throw line. Jrue Holiday continues to improve as a veteran of this league and has done a great job at commanding the Bucks’ offense. With each passing game, it’ll be important for the Trail Blazers to notch tough wins and try to improve their playoff chances. They’ve gotten some of their players back from injury and have seen the benefits of a healthy lineup.

The Blazers start a five game homestand against the Bucks.

With 1:42 left in the first half Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard picked up his dribble just inside half court line, and then looked for something to do with the ball. It was just over a three-hour drive for a huge contingent of family and friends to see him, and many of his teammates gave him their allotment of tickets so as many as possible could see him play in person. “This year it’s a little different seeing my name in a lot of stuff, but at the end of the day I’m here to play basketball and support my teammates however that be, whether it’s playing or not playing,” he told the Journal Sentinel before the Bucks took on the Trail Blazers. It’s perhaps fitting, too, that he reached the milestone with a three-pointer – which was the 499th of his Bucks career. Nwora signed a two-year, $6.2 million deal just before the start of training camp and appeared in 38 games (with three starts) heading into Monday night’s action. The substitute advantage helped the Bucks mitigate the “off” offensive night by Antetokounmpo and a three-point night from Grayson Allen. Brook Lopez in particular was a problem from the opening seconds of the game and the 7-footer dominated inside all night long. In his 15-year career that has spanned three franchises, Lopez has scored 3,602 of his points with the Bucks. The Trail Blazers have been without 6-11 center Jusuf Nurkić with a calf injury, and head coach Chauncy Billups acknowledged before the game that had been a problem for his team of late.
