Bucks at Trail Blazers picks and predictionsPrediction

Trail Blazers 123, Bucks 106

The Trail Blazers (-650) will set you back 6 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward. While Portland is in the hunt for the playoffs, and Milwaukee is not quite in tank mode, all but out of the mix for the postseason, it’s way too much to risk.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

The TRAIL BLAZERS -12.5 (-105) laying this big of an amount looks a little off-putting at first. However, Portland just covered as 15.5-point favorites in a 35-point win over Brooklyn last time out, while Milwaukee was dusted by 33 as a 14-point dog against the Clips in its most recent outing.

Milwaukee has still cashed in 4 of the past 6 games as a double-digit underdog, but it has also lost by at least 32 points in 2 of the past 3 games.

OVER 226.5 (-105) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at best.

The Over has a 3-2 edge in the past 5 games for the Bucks, allowing at least 122 points in 5 of the past 6 outings. The Under is 5-1 in the past 6 meetings in this series, including the first battle in Milwaukee Nov. 24.

The Blazers have cashed high in 3 of the past 4 games, and the Over is 10-1 in the past 11 games at home.
