Fanduel Odds

We’ve got great action tonight fellas. The Trail Blazers have won 4 in a row, but 3 of them have come against easy competition. The Bucks have not played well recently, but are coming off a win against a short handed Lakers team. The Trail Blazers have home court advantage, and are fully healthy, while the Bucks are missing important defenders in Teague, Tucker, and Portis. This will also be the third road game in a row for the Bucks, and we usually see teams start to show fatigue towards the end of road trips. I think this will be a close game but the Blazers have an advantage in home court, injuries, and rest, so I am leaning towards them. Take the Trail Blazers +3, Damian Lillard under 8.5 assists, Jusuf Nurkic over 8.5 points, and Giannis Antetokounmpo over 27.5 points.
