Milwaukee Bucks at Toronto Raptors: Best Bet
</div> <p> <strong>Moneyline:</strong> Toronto is a heavy -140 favorite in its first home game of the series following Friday's drubbing in Game 2. The <strong>Bucks</strong> have been much deeper thus far and are a good play at <strong>+125</strong> with a perfect 4-0 record on the road this postseason.</p> <p> <strong>Against the spread:</strong> Stick with the Bucks as outright winners instead of the <strong>-110</strong> odds to cover a spread of just <strong>2.5</strong>.</p> <p> <strong>Over/under:</strong> The projected total has been bumped up for the second game in a row as it increases to <strong>220</strong> for Game 3 after the teams combined for 228 points Friday. Take the <strong>UNDER</strong> at <strong>-110</strong> as the Raptors prioritize defense without the ability to keep pace offensively with Milwaukee.</p> <p> <em>Follow Esten on Twitter <a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/EstenMcLaren">@EstenMcLaren</a> </em> </p> <div id="jwplayer_TYcjryCw_0IhZpyYH_div"/> <p><strong>MORE:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/burmese-python-discovered-in-surprising-place/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">Burmese python discovered in surprising place</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/ufc-fighter-makes-opponent-flinch-by-screaming-in-his-face-during-staredown/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">UFC fighter makes opponent flinch by screaming in his face during staredown</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/rangers-mike-minor-200th-strike-out-after-not-catching-foul-ball-on-purpose/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">Rangers ripped for not catching easy foul ball so pitcher could reach milestone</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/packers-eagles-goal-line-passes/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">Packers' puzzling goal-line decisions end in disaster</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/watch-avonte-maddox-provides-an-update-on-his-status-after-returning-to-philly/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">WATCH: Avonte Maddox provides an update on his status after returning to Philly</a></p></body></html>
