After a dogfight of a game against Denver, the Milwaukee Bucks once again play host to a top tier Western Conference team, as the Portland Trail Blazers roll in with the best record in the West and one game already in the bag against Milwaukee.
Bucks Update
Portland might boast the top record in the West, but Milwaukee has one fewer loss and sits firmly in the Eastern Conference’s second seed, looking up only at the 14-4 Toronto Raptors. It hasn’t been a cakewalk, either: the Bucks have played the fifth-most difficult schedule (per basketball-reference), and their opponents have a current combined record of 143-116.
