NBA Betting Trends

Milwaukee

The Bucks are 4-0 ATS in their last four games playing on one day of rest. Milwaukee is 1-7 ATS in its last eight road games.

Portland

The Trail Blazers are 0-3-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Portland is 1-6 ATS in its last seven home games versus the Bucks.

Prediction:

Milwaukee hasn't been as strong on the road lately, but have had plenty of success covering the spread in Portland. I'll bank on Milwaukee here as it appears to be a team turning a corner, led by The Greek Freak who is looking like an MVP candidate in the early going. Portland is having a good start to the season, but it hasn't been invincible at home and took advantage two days ago of a dysfunctional Timberwolves team. Take the Bucks in this spot.
