BTB Betting Pick
The Trail Blazers are the favorites with a spread of -12.0 against the Bucks. The Bucks struggle offensively, ranking 28th in points per game, which might not help them cover this spread. With the Trail Blazers scoring more and having a better possession rate, they should cover the spread. The projected score is Trail Blazers 118, Bucks 106.
The total for the game is set at 225 points. The Bucks allow 116.4 points per game, while the Trail Blazers allow 117.0 points. Both teams have defensive weaknesses, which suggests a higher scoring game. Therefore, taking the over 225 is the recommendation. The projected total is 224 points, close to the line, but the defensive stats point to a higher total.
