Milwaukee Bucks at Toronto Raptors Prediction
The question here is not whether Toronto will win, it’s whether the points here is too much to spot to a team like Milwaukee. Milwaukee is known for a robust and staunch defense and this form of strategy can be very difficult for any opponent to deal with on any court. Milwaukee’s last three defeats were by a combined total of 10 points. This is a team that spanked Cleveland and Portland in some of their most recent home initiatives and even against Toronto, they only fell by six points. The Bucks do not allow opponents to shoot well against them, they own the best three-point defense in the NBA and they are ranked second in opponent field goal percentage. This is bad news for Toronto who live and die by their methodical offense and thus the points here is a value play.
Free Pick:
Take The Milwaukee Bucks +8.5
