Toronto Raptors at Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Raptors have turned it around big time after the embarrassing 27 point loss in Milwaukee in Game 3 with back to back to wins and covers. Toronto’s starters are all scoring well right now with DeMarre Carroll’s 12 points the lowest scoring total of all five starters in Game 5. The Raps smell blood and should be able to close out the series tonight on the road where they have already grabbed a pair of wins in Milwaukee this season.
