(20 on Portland, 27 on Milwaukee). Damian Lillard (28 points on 18 shots, 5 assists) struggled most of the night getting open from behind the arc and instead chose to drive inside, but this played into Milwaukee’s strategy for most of the night. Meanwhile, Anfernee Simons (21 points on 16 shots, 5 assists) couldn’t get much else going, and that left the Blazers playing from behind the whole night. The Blazers were without Jusuf Nurkic, and their only other rotation-level center (Drew Eubanks) is only 6’9”. Jerami Grant (6’8”) has played a fair amount of center lately, but against a massive Milwaukee team the deck was stacked against the home team tonight.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Brook Lopez scored 27 points and the Milwaukee Bucks stretched their winning streak to eight games with a 127-108 victory over the.

1, a few adjustments were made to the NBA schedule that impact the Bucks and Blazers. “They used to give up like the most 3s in the league because of that drop coverage. … It was the opener of a three-game road trip. Damian Lillard led the Blazers with 28 points. “I’m lucky that there are people that are out there trying to help me, trying to make me better and put me in that position.” I’m just enjoying it and I want to keep getting better, keep being an effective player out there, being the best player I could be,” said Lopez, who is in his 14th season.

Lopez led the Bucks with 27 points, but he also made plays that don't show up in the box score that helped his teammates be successful.

“They might need to retire that jersey over there in the Nets organization; 11 ( [Kyrie Irving](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/kyrie-irving-c9XLlxAFm6NG5ddD/)) gone now, I mean, it makes sense.” [Damian Lillard](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/damian-lillard-kE0E92pvJGKazRQb/) on him in the post, Portland was far more worried about Lopez getting an easy bucket than covering the rest of the players on the floor. “I just gotta keep being better at rolling, rolling, rolling, being aggressive and drawing that attention to make it easier for other people.” “I have a long way to still go, a long time to still play. “It’s crazy for me because it’s wild that I’ve been in the league for that long, but it’s cool to think of all the people that helped me get there,” Lopez said of the milestone after the game. Obviously, when he was in Brooklyn, he was one of the guys that scored the ball a lot. [Jrue Holiday](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/jrue-holiday-F5hrjac6YFBzx2nI/) struggled to find a rhythm in the first half before catching a groove in the third quarter. “The coaches, the staff, the players that I’ve played with to get me in this position, it’s really cool. But I just think when he’s aggressive, he makes our team so much better, so much harder to guard.” And [Khris Middleton](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/khris-middleton-16EsAhBpQ9MB2dEC/) remained on a minutes limit.

Former Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe managed to develop a role in the rivalry between the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks.

He’s the perfect fit: malleable, as dominant on the offensive end as the defensive, and able to thrive in any situation. [Giannis Antetokunpmo is the world-beater and MVP candidate](https://www.nba.com/bucks/news/the-numbers-dont-lie-giannis-is-mvp), but Holiday is the catalyst that ensures the dynamism of the reaction.

He has a [93rd-percentile](https://cleaningtheglass.com/stats/players?stat_category=onoff_efficiency) on/off differential per 100 possessions leaguewide, ahead of most other All Stars. On the defensive end, Holiday averages a If Lopez and Antetokounmpo are the respective towers upon which the defense and offense are built, Holiday is the shadow cast by each. He is often who Milwaukee wants to receive the ball in a hand-off, making the decisions to score himself or use the movement of the defense to create layups and triples for teammates. Holiday is in the midst of his best season as a Buck. But Holiday is the shepherd, the defensive player who chases the ball into Lopez. The game is tied with under a minute remaining before Jrue Holiday puts on his Superman costume for Halloween and slams the phone booth door on the upstarts. And because of the incredible talent level in the league, there are always stars with the numbers and impact of All Stars who don’t make the teams.

With the auction coming up, the owners hope those who had fond memories can keep them alive with a little piece of the Bismarck Bucks.

“It’s kind of a chapter book, and it’s time to turn the page. On March 7, Bucks will hold an online auction. “We had a guy that bought one of the big six-foot signs that said ‘Bucks.’ I remember helping him load it, and he said, ‘Well, my wife and I met at Borrowed Bucks 30 years ago and I had to have this sign for my garage,’” said Girard. “Every single piece in the building, all the memorabilia, the signs, bar stools, and pub tables,” said Ken Girard, owner of Girard Auction. Those at Bucks know the good times will be missed, and they wanted to allow everyone to take a final piece of the memories home with them. It’s my retirement, and it’s time to move on,” said Brad Erickson, general manager and co-owner of Bucks.

Due in large part to Antetokounmpo averaging 42.8 points on a whopping 27.4 field-goal and 13.4 free-throw attempts over the previous five games, Holiday and other members of the Bucks' supporting cast had seen their usage tail off of late, so the point guard's strong showing Monday was a welcome sight for fantasy managers who had been disappointed by his recent returns.

According to NBA reporter Marc Stein, the Milwaukee Bucks are interested in New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose.

According to Marc Stein, the Milwaukee Bucks are interested in trading for Derrick Rose of the New York Knicks before the 2023 NBA Trade Deadline.

While it would take a lot, a scenario may exist out there where the Bucks land Rose and Reddish at the deadline. Now, that is a bit ironic, given that the Bucks have been in Coach Mike Budenholzer likes to use two point guard lineups situationally, and Rose and Jrue Holiday would make for an interesting pairing. [Bucks have expressed interest in Derrick Rose](https://twitter.com/TheSteinLine/status/1623131617525960705) of the New York Knicks ahead of Thursday’s deadline. Milwaukee’s interest in Rose makes some sense. While it seems like Quickley is off the table, Rose and Reddish are still very much available for trade.

The Bucks are reportedly interested in bringing former league MVP Derrick Rose to Milwaukee via a trade with the Knicks.

However, this man still has some gas left in the tank, and he could still be a key addition to the Bucks’ backcourt for the remainder of the season. He won’t be expected to play heavy minutes, but he could provide a scoring punch for them off the bench in a limited role. They may be second in the East at the moment with a 37-17 record, but this isn’t stopping them from [adding the necessary pieces](https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-bucks-jae-crowder-trade-pursuit-update-ahead-deadline) to their team ahead of what they’re hoping will be another extended playoff run.

The [Knicks](https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/new-york-knicks) would likely have to add a few picks here. It's tough to say that Rose would be a positive for this Milwaukee team. Unfortunately, for the Bucks, they would have to trade the better player in this entire deal as Even when he has had that chance, there's nothing that the Bucks are going to overspend on here. The Milwaukee Bucks will have some interesting decisions to make during the 2023 NBA trade deadline as they continue building their already championship roster. Milwaukee has now been linked to multiple names, including Jae Crowder, Bojan Bogdanovic, Cam Reddish, and Derrick Rose.
