Giannis Antetokounmpo was back in the lineup on Tuesday and continued the Bucks dominance of the Cavs with an 8 point victory. He also scored 27 points on his 27th birthday! Milwaukee have now won 10 of their last 11 games and will be confident of continuing the Heat’s woes.<\/span><\/p>\n The Heat have lost Jimmy Butler again to injury after he re-injured his tailbone in the 105-90 loss to the Grizzlies. With Adebayo sidelined for the next few months, the Heat are obviously struggling with 4 losses in their last 5 games. They also lost to this Bucks team a few days ago by 22 points.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s hard to see how the injury-riddled Heat can compete with the Bucks at the moment. The two sides met recently and the Bucks cruised to a comfortable 22 point win.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Miami have lost their last 3 home games. The Bucks are 4-2 at this venue in their last 6 games.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Bucks beat the Heat last week 124-102 and have won 7 of the last 10 meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Milwaukee Bucks -5.5 = $1.91<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Portland has lost their last 3 games on their home court as injuries have been tough for this team to come back from. They were missing Lillard and McCollum in their latest 102-90 loss against the Clippers. With a terrible road record (1-12) this season and injuries, this trip to San Francisco looks like a tough ask.<\/span><\/p>\n The red-hot Warriors come off a 126-95 thumping of the Orlando Magic after a shock 112-107 loss against the Spurs. At home this season, the Warriors are a formidable team having won 12 of 13 and the Trail Blazers are one of those teams (118-103). Steph Curry should be fresh after sitting in the 4th quarter against the Magic and he’ll enjoy this matchup with the injury-ravaged Trail Blazers.<\/span><\/p>\n This matchup has blowout written all over it. The Trail Blazers are going to be without their 2 best players (Lillard and McCollum) and they lost by 15 points in the earlier season meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Golden State are 12-1 at home in their last 13. The Trail Blazers have a horrible 2-18 record on the road against the Warriors.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\nPortland Trail Blazers (11-14) at Golden State Warriors (20-4)<\/b><\/h3>\n
