Season series: Raptors lead 1-0, winning 130-111 on Nov. 1 in Toronto

Bucks at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 116, Raptors 112

Moneyline

The Bucks (-190) are just a little too expensive for my liking, costing nearly 2 times your potential return. While that's risky in and of itself, it's especially risky considering the Raptors (+155) already handled Milwaukee once by 19 points earlier this season.

PASS.

Against the spread

The RAPTORS +4.5 (-105) are the lean, as the Bucks -4.5 (-115) just cannot be trusted. Milwaukee is a dismal 1-8-1 ATS in 10 games overall, including the straight-up loss in Toronto back on Nov. 1.

Toronto hasn't exactly killed it against the number, either, failing to cover the past 2 outings, while going 3-5 ATS in the past 8 outings, so tread lightly.

Over/Under

OVER 226.5 (-110) is also worth playing lightly.

The total has gone low in the past 2 games for the Raps, but the Over did cash in the 1st meeting with the Bucks. Milwaukee has also hit the Under in the past 2 outings, but the Over is 6-4 in 10 games overall this season.

And the Over has cashed in 2 straight in the series, and 3 of the past 4 meetings overall.
