The Jayhawks cashed in a big blowout for us last night, onto the next! Tonight, we shift our focus to the NBA where the Portland Trailblazers host the Milwaukee Bucks. Milwaukee is a big favorite, with the spread currently sitting at 9.5 points. This is a prime spot to back Milwaukee. It’s Damian Lillard’s first game back in Portland so he will come ready to ball out. The rest of the Bucks roster knows how important this game is to Dame, but also for new head coach Doc Rivers as he looks to get his first win. With no expected injuries for Milwaukee, they simply outmatch Portland by a long shot. This has the recipe for a big blowout, similar to what we’ve seen from Milwaukee in years past. The Bucks are ranked 27th in the NBA going just 18-28-1 against the spread this year. Regression to the mean is coming in the best way. These teams played back in November with the Bucks winning by 6. Milwaukee was adjusting to the new team chemistry early in the season and were playing without Khris Middleton. The Bucks have won 9 of the last 10 matchups against Portland, covering the spread in 6 of those. An important stat here is both teams are playing on 1-day rest. Portland is 2nd last in the NBA, covering the spread at an abysmal 25.9% of the time they play on 1-day rest. The kicker: their average margin of defeat in these games is 14.1 points. They get blown out with frequency when playing on one day's rest. Lock in - Giannis and Dame time get us to this number tonight. Be sharp - Take Milwaukee Bucks -9.5!
