Milwaukee Bucks at Toronto Raptors Prediction
Overreactions is the name of the game when it comes to NBA playoff series as one result can persuade high volumes of action from the public as a result of the preceding affair. Given the manner in which Milwaukee won Game One, many are going to be enamored by taking back the Bucks with the same amount of points. However, as we have stated previously the Raptors had a terribly cold night from one of their best scorers. While this does not undermine Milwaukee’s efforts, Kyle Lowry is the spark of the Toronto Raptors as he can take over games when he is shooting well from beyond the arc. He didn’t splash even once. An uptick in Lowry’s performance in Game Two will provide a host of troubles that Milwaukee didn’t have to deal with in in Game One. Most likely, Toronto took Milwaukee lightly given the fact they had this one at home in the Great White North. Look for the Raptors to rebound here and equalize the series as it goes back to Milwaukee.
Free Pick:
Take Toronto -7.5 (-115)
