Antetokounmpo produced 29 points, nine rebounds and six assists at the Moda Center, trailing only teammate Portis, whose season-high 30 points improved the Bucks to 33-21 on the season.

The defending NBA champions have now won six of their past eight games and will look to add to that tally when they take on the Los Angeles Clippers this Monday, February 7.

Tyronn Lue’s side are currently 27-27 for the season but enter their next encounter full of confidence after defeating cross-town rivals the Lakers in their most recent matchup.

Marcus Morris and Reggie Jackson carried the load in that victory but will need more help if they are to prevent Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton from predicting proceedings.

Middleton dropped 14 points to go with seven assists and five steals against the Blazers in what was the first of a four-game road trip, with the upcoming Clippers clash followed by games against the Lakers and Phoenix Suns.

The Bucks take on the Clippers this Monday, February 7 and both SBS VICELAND and SBS On Demand will air all the action LIVE from 12:30pm (AEDT).
