Welcome to Opposition Intel!
In their last two games the Milwaukee Bucks have showcased al the grit and courage that has seen them surprisingly rise up the Eastern Conference standings this season.
In spite of injuries to Zaza Pachulia and Ersan Ilyasova, adding insult to the problems created by Larry Sanders’ suspension, Milwaukee have ground out two road wins with makeshift forward rotations.
The Portland Trail Blazers have been enduring their only injury problems of late too, and have a number of players playing at far from 100 percent health. Having played in Atlanta last night, there’s a chance that the Bucks could exploit any potential tiredness the Trail Blazers might feel..
Ahead of the action, we spoke to Portland Trail Blazers expert David MacKay about their season so far, how he sees the Bucks, and the game’s key matchups.
