Milwaukee at Portland

The Milwaukee Bucks may no longer be considered the worst team in the NBA as the Philadelphia 76ers have probably taken over that role. The Bucks, however, can't hide from their 13-54 record on the season, but their is a caveat. The Bucks haven't quit and have become an under-valued team because of their poor record. That has led them to a 15-7 ATS mark in their last 22 games, despite just five wins in the same period. That means that the points now matter, as they are getting too much disrespect. The Bucks have been a remarkable 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games when taking 8 or more points. At 18-25 ATS in their last 43 games, Portland is simply not playing at the same level they were early on. Their last two times posted as a double-digit favorite saw them get a narrow win, and a loss, failing to cover either. The Bucks have been 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings, and have shown the ability to perform in this type of game. Take the points on Milwaukee.
