POR vs MIL Dream11: Portland Trail Blazers will be looking to get to winning ways when they host Eastern Conference giants Milwaukee Bucks at Moda Center on Sunday morning. The Blazers once again lost the game in which they were favourites, losing 116-102 to Minnesota Timberwolves. It was Blazers’ seventh defeat in the last 10 games, and 23rd this season, as they remain outside the top-8 heading into this game.
Milwaukee Bucks are leading the East, and sit atop the conference with the best record in the NBA at 34-6. The Bucks are one a two-game run, last beating Sacramento Kings 106-127 at Golden 1 Center. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a rather average outing by his own lofty standard, but Khris Middleton erupted for a magnificent double-double, scoring 27 points and 11 rebounds.
