Portland Trail Blazers and Milwaukee Bucks head-to-head record

The Blazers and the Bucks have battled in five competitive head-to-head games in the past, with the Blazers winning the last two meetings and the Bucks winning three. In the latest game on the fifth of January 2025, Portland narrowly defeated Milwaukee 105-102, continuing a pattern of close matches, such as their 119-116 win on the first of February 2024. The Bucks' strong victories in previous games, like their 127-108 win on the 7th of February 2023, show that they can take advantage of their opponents' weaknesses. Since the Bucks have had a great season, they will probably rely on Giannis Antetokounmpo to score points and Damian Lillard to create moves in order to take advantage of Portland's weak defense. The Blazers will require Anfernee Simons to contribute effectively again and Donovan Clingan to help with defense to keep up with the strong Bucks team.
