Portland Trail Blazers - Dallas Mavericks

The Bucks gradually seem to be picking up speed, although I never believed they would until Rivers coached them. But here are the games that they should easily win, as the Pacers are very weak on the road, showing no fear at all, and Peru has practically lost 7 out of the last 8 and 3 out of the last 4 games by double digits. The last game against the Rockets was truly dismal, with no defense and their leader Haliburton playing like just an average role player. They won't have much against Indiana either, as there is no Nesmith and Giannis will be motivated by the fact that he did not make it to the playoffs last year. Overall, I believe that the Bucks have found their rhythm and I also think that they will handle the Pacers similarly to how they handled the Bulls.
