Score prediction
Raptors 116-108 Bucks. Milwaukee has lost seven of eight. Toronto has been patchy on the road, so we expect a win by about eight rather than a rout.
Raptors vs Bucks prediction
The Bucks are 1-3 at home and have lost those games by 14.0 on average. Toronto’s net rating is 16 points per 100 possessions better than theirs.
The Canadian books make Toronto about a 70 per cent chance and set the spread at 7.5 points. That is our margin too, so the bet is the Raptors to win, not to cover.
Our pick: the Raptors to win. The spread is −7.5, right on our margin, and with Barnes questionable we pass on it.
What would change it: if Barnes were ruled out, we would drop the pick. Herro missing would make it a stronger one.
