Milwaukee Bucks @ Portland Trail Blazers Preview

The Milwaukee Bucks (26-18) are coming off a dominant 125-110 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night, marking their ninth win in the last 11 games. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard were instrumental, each scoring 35 points. However, the Bucks face a quick turnaround, playing the second game of a back-to-back, which could test their stamina. Despite this, Milwaukee has been strong in back-to-back scenarios, winning four of their last five such games.

The Portland Trail Blazers (17-29) recently saw their four-game winning streak snapped with a 118-108 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. While their young core, including Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson, has shown promise, the Blazers have struggled at home, losing six of their last seven games. However, they have won their last two matchups against the Bucks, including a 105-102 victory earlier this month.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last four meetings, the Bucks have won three games, with scores of 126-104, 124-111, and 142-117. The Trail Blazers' lone victory in this span came on January 4, 2025, with a 105-102 win. Historically, the Bucks have been dominant in this matchup, but the Blazers have shown they can compete, especially at home.

Pick: Milwaukee Bucks -5.5

The Bucks are in excellent form, winning six of their last seven games, and have a strong record in back-to-back scenarios. While the Blazers have been competitive, their recent struggles at home and the Bucks' superior firepower make Milwaukee the safer pick to cover the spread. Additionally, the Bucks' defense and offensive efficiency should help them secure a comfortable win.

Top Player Prop Picks

Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 30.5 Points

Giannis has been in stellar form, scoring 35 points in his last game. With the Blazers' defense allowing significant points, expect Giannis to continue his scoring dominance.

Damian Lillard Over 7.5 Assists

Lillard has been a key playmaker for the Bucks, and with the Blazers' defense focusing on Giannis, Lillard should have opportunities to rack up assists.

Anfernee Simons Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made

Simons has been a consistent shooter for the Blazers, and with the Bucks' defense likely focusing on the paint, Simons should find open looks from beyond the arc.
