Portland Trail Blazers vs Milwaukee Bucks Preview

The Trail Blazers have a bright future

The Trail Blazers enter the affair after a 10-point loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder as Deni Advija put up 28 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists. It broke a four-game winning streak, but the squad is ways removed from entering the Play-in tournament race. However, this is more of a development season. The guard trio of Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe, and Scoot Henderson has turned heads, whereas Advija has been a breath of fresh air. Maybe the team is a couple of pieces away from becoming a playoff-level threat soon.

The Bucks have life in them… But

The Bucks will enter the game after squaring off against the Utah Jazz the previous night. They recently went on a five-game winning streak and have enjoyed a strong stretch in January. However, their depth has been a bit of an issue especially since Khris Middleton has been inconsistent. It is one of the reasons why they have lost against elite teams repeatedly. The team may need to land a dependable shooter around the trade deadline to become more effective. The biggest silver lining has been the chemistry between Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
