Toronto Raptors 1-10 win margin (+450)
With 3 consecutive wins over Denver, Oklahoma City and Minnesota, even the harshest Raptors’ critics are now silent as they’ve got to within half a game of the 8th-seeded Atlanta Hawks in the East. They head into Milwaukee with a ton of momentum, which they’ll definitely need after losing both meetings against them earlier in the season. It’s always a fun matchup between these teams, and only 3 and 8 points separated them in those games. Toronto enters as a 9.5-point underdog, and I must say that’s a bit surprising considering they are 5-2 SU/ATS in their last 7 against the Bucks. The Bucks suffered a embarrassing 139-123 loss to Indiana in their last game despite entering as 13.5-point favorites and the Pacers being without their best player Tyrese Haliburton. Covering the spread against Toronto at Fiserv Forum has been an issue. Just 1 of the last 6 meetings there have gone the Bucks’ way against the spread. The Raptors won’t go away easily and their last 3 losses were all within 10 points, so I’m expecting a close game and hopefully Toronto can pull off a shocker in the clutch.

Giannis Antetokounmpo over 11.5 rebounds (-136)
Giannis is averaging 10.9 rebounds per game over his last 7 outings, and that number would have been a lot higher if the Bucks weren’t so dominant in their games and he averaged more than 31.9 minutes per game. Tonight’s clash with Toronto is likely to be a close one, just like their meetings earlier this season, so I expect Giannis to put in the work on the boards. With Brook Lopez in all likelihood not being able to play, Antetokounmpo will basically be the center for Milwaukee in this game. Toronto has been one of the better rebounding teams this year in terms of raw numbers, but that’s mainly due to their slow tempo of play. They average just 99.1 possessions per game which ranks only 25th in the NBA. I’m expecting a lot faster game tonight and the last time they met we saw 252 points. With Lopez out of the way Milwaukee will be forced to speed things up, so expect a lot of possessions from both sides and hopefully some misses which will result in Giannis rebounds.
