The Trail Blazers have not been good on the defensive end as of late and without Nurkic in the lineup ’ defense has been terrible lately and will struggle they will struggle to defend Giannis. Portland is 1-8 ATS in its last nine meetings with the Eastern Conference. The Trail Blazers have won just one of their last games against the Bucks and covered just two of the last six on their home court. The inability to stop Giannis with just one man will force them to give help which will open up Middleton and Holiday for easy shots. I am looking for the Bucks to roll on the road against an inferior team, especially on the defensive end.

Play on Milwaukee.
