Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee head to Portland on the back of a loss, but they have won seven of their last 10 games.

The Bucks made a rough start to 2024 as they lost four of their first five games of the year, but they responded well.

They bounced back with a 135-102 win against Boston, and backed that up with a 129-118 victory over Golden State before beating Sacramento 143-142 in overtime.

Milwaukee then rebounded from a 135-95 blowout loss to Cleveland with back-to-back wins in Detroit, 141-135 and 122-113, before returning home to beat the Cavaliers 126-118.

The Bucks lost the next meeting with the Cavs, 112-100, and then failed to follow up a 141-117 blowout of New Orleans as they lost 113-107 in Denver.

Portland Trail Blazers Form

Portland head into this matchup in mixed form, having won four and lost four of their last eight games.

The Trail Blazers halted a four-game losing skid with a 105-103 win against Brooklyn, and backed that up by beating Indiana 118-115.

They failed to keep that good run going though, as they then went out on the road to lose 134-110 at the Los Angeles Lakers and 111-109 at Oklahoma City.

Portland avoided a third straight loss as they edged Houston in overtime, 137-131, but they failed to build on that victory as they were beaten 116-100 in San Antonio.

The Trail Blazers then lost 104-96 when they returned home to face Chicago, although they did avoid a three-game losing skid with a 130-104 win over Philadelphia on Monday night.
