This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER between the Portland Trailblazers and the Milwaukee Bucks.

When the smoke clears at the end of this one, we look for this total to fall below the posted number. The Bucks average 95.3 possessions per 48 minutes, which is one of the slowest paces in the league. Milwaukee is most recently coming off a 106-91 home win over New York on Saturday, but is just 4-10 since a four game win skein at the start of November. The Blazers come to town looking to match their longest win streak of the season, most recently coming off a 109-103 victory over Minnesota on Saturday; note though that the high-scoring victory was definitely an anomaly as Portland would score a season-high 22 points off turnovers for the win, which is odd as the team actually ranks dead last in the league in that category at 12.4 per contest. Note that Portland has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of its last eight vs. teams with losing records, while Milwaukee has seen the total stay below the posted number in all four games that it's played this season after scoring 105 points or more and in three of its last four non-conference contests. Play on the UNDER.
