Milwaukee has won eight of its last 10 games and is 7-3 against the spread during that span. That said, the Bucks are just 30-39 against the number on the season, which includes an ugly 12-21 ATS record on the road this year.

Portland has also won eight of its last 10 games and also covered in seven of those 10 contests. Ironically, the Trail Blazers own the same 30-39 ATS record as Milwaukee on the season, and is just 14-17 against the number at home this year.
