Damian Lillard to Score 40+ Points (+220)
Lillard’s heroics have been well documented, if it wasn’t for his stellar play the Blazers would be well outside of the playoff race in the Western Conference. He has literally carried the team on his back over the last 10 games averaging 37.3 points per game on 51% shooting from the field and 40% from three-point land. He’s cleared this line 4 times in his last 6 games, which includes a 60 point eruption against the Utah Jazz 10 days or so ago.
Although the Bucks are an elite defensive team, there are still some flaws he can exploit tonight. For example, they rank 7th worst in the NBA in opponent points per game scored inside the paint, allowing 52.5 a night. Milwaukee is also currently dealing with a few injuries, Serge Ibaka and Bobby Portis have been out of the line-up, not having to deal with their length should also make Lillard’s life a bit easier here. The last time he faced the Bucks, Dame finished with 32 points. I’m confident he has it in him to go over 40 again.

Giannis Antetokounmpo to Score 40+ Points (+220)
Antetokounmpo’s numbers are even more impressive than Lillard’s. The Greek Freak is averaging 39.4 points per game in his last 7 outings on 60% shooting from the field, even his three-point shooting has improved to 35% during that stretch. He had 37 in the last meeting with the Blazers, he’s averaging 37.7 in the last 3 against them. Portland’s struggles on defense are well documented, they just allowed 129 and 121 in their last 2 games vs Chicago and Atlanta. Giannis has cleared this line 3 times in the last 6 games he’s played, you’d be hard pressed to find a team capable of slowing him down, the Blazers are definitely not one of those. Jusuf Nurkic is expected to be out of the line-up for an extended period of time, that leaves them vulnerable on the inside, for a player like Giannis that relies heavily on getting points from up close that is really good news. All in all, I’m expecting both him and Dame to show up big time for their teams here.
