My Prediction
Milwaukee Bucks by 9Good day everyone, hold on to your seats because we've got an exciting clash here between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Now, we've got some key players from the Trail Blazers that you'll want to keep your eyes on. First up, Anfernee Simons, who's been showing some impressive numbers this season, with an average of 17.6 points per game. Unfortunately, his teammate, Jerami Grant, who's averaged a respectable 15.0 points per game this season, is joining the cheerleaders due to an injury.
Let's not ignore the elephant in the room here. It's the Greak Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo, from the Bucks, who’s been firing on all cylinders, averaging an impressive 32.1 points this season. Not to mention Damian Lillard who's been dropping 25.0 points per game on average for the Bucks this season.
History speaks loud here and it seems like the Portland Trail Blazers have had a tough time dealing with the Bucks. The last three games between these two have seen the Bucks bag two wins.
When it comes to season records, the Bucks have been buttering both sides of the toast with a record of 17-15, significantly better than the Blazers' 11-22.
Taking note of recent results, it does seem like the Blazers might be stuck in a pickle here, with the majority of their last five games ending in defeat. On the other hand, the Bucks seem to have hit a bit of a salty patch themselves but have a slightly more appetizing recent record.
In the grand hierarchy of the Eastern and Western conferences, the Bucks find themselves in a more flattering position at number 5, while the Blazers aren’t doing too well, dragging their feet at number 13.
So, ladies and gentlemen, who is likely to grab the bragging rights this time around? Well, draws are as rare as rocking horse droppings in basketball. Concluding with this in mind:
Albert’s Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks by 9.
