The Milwaukee Bucks are on the road to face the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Milwaukee is No. 4 in the Eastern Conference standings with a 26-18 record, while Portland is No. 13 in the West with a 17-29 record.

Milwaukee’s season started in disastrous fashion but it has since recovered to be ranked among the top teams in the East. The Bucks might have tired legs as they will play the second leg of a back-to-back after beating the Utah Jazz 125-110 on Monday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo continued his dominating season, as he finished the game with 35 points, 18 rebounds, seven assists and two steals. Damian Lillard had a great game as well, with 35 points, eight assists and five rebounds.

The Trail Blazers, meanwhile, are coming off a 118-108 loss to the OKC Thunder on Sunday. Deni Avdija led the team with 28 points, eight assists and eight rebounds. The loss snapped a four-game win streak for Portland, its longest of the season.

The two teams have faced each other on 136 occasions, with Milwaukee holding the upper hand with an 81-55 record. However, in their only game so far this season, Portland got a surprising 105-102 win on Jan. 4. Anfernee Simons led the Trail Blazers with 28 points and eight assists.

Antetokounmpo had a great statline of 31 points, 11 rebounds, two steals and two blocks, but that wasn’t enough to prevent a loss. Expect the Bucks to have revenge on their mind on Tuesday night.
