Portland at Milwaukee

Portland likes playing for interim coach Kaleb Canales, as they are off another stunning comeback win at Dallas 99-97 in OT. They won it on a last second shot by star LaMarcus Aldridge, so there is no quit in this team. Adding J.J. Hickson has been a plus, clearly playing hard each night for a contract, and Raymond Felton and Jamal Crawford are a terrific one-two backcourt punch. Felton scored 30 points during Portland's 30-10 surge in the third quarter. This team has won 6 of 10 games, winning two of those as a dog, winning over Memphis and at Dallas. They face a Milwaukee team that has won three in a row, but that was against Washington, Cleveland and Charlotte - bad teams that have nothing to play for. Milwaukee is No. 17 in the NBA in rebounds, and are small up front, so Aldridge will have a big game. They struggled last night against Charlotte, winning 95-90 as 14-point chalk. The Bobcats outrebounded the Bucks 57-45 and outscored them in the paint 46-42. Portland has also won 9 of the last 10 meetings. Play the Blazers on the moneyline.
