Trail Blazers vs. Bucks Pick
Trail Blazers vs. Bucks Spread Pick
- Bucks (4 units)
Both teams are banged up heading into this contest as they take the floor here. Portland is playing the second game of a back-to-back situation and their third game in four nights here. The Trail Blazers are minus a slew of talent in the backcourt, which is going to take a toll on their rotation. It’s unclear as to the status of Clingan and Williams III, which would impede their frontcourt depth as well. Milwaukee is missing Antetokounmpo here, but they do have most of his supporting cast to take the floor here. With Portland banged up and fatigued, you have to give Milwaukee the upper hand in this contest.
Trail Blazers vs. Bucks Over/Under Pick
- Over (4 units)
Portland has seen the over post a 12-4 mark in their first 16 games this season, entering Sunday. The Trail Blazers are fifth in the league in scoring offense, 14th in offensive efficiency and 3rd in adjusted tempo with an average of 102.8 possessions a night this season. Milwaukee has seen the over post a 10-7 mark in their first 17 games this season. The Bucks are 19th in the league in scoring offense, 20th in offensive efficiency and 16th in adjusted tempo with an average of 100.3 possessions a night this season. With Portland a high-octane offense and a team that is weak on the defensive end of the floor, look for this game to wind up over the total.
