Struggling Raptors Host Talented Bucks Tonight in Toronto
Basketball fans in Canada are in for a real treat this evening, as the Toronto Raptors take on the Milwaukee Bucks in an exciting matchup at Scotiabank Arena.
At first glance, this seems like a mismatch. Even though they're underdogs, the Bucks should win it outright.
The Raptors have had a disappointing season so far, sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference with a 16-21 SU record – and 11-8 SU at home. Meanwhile, the Bucks are playing at a near championship level with a 24-13 SU record, which ranks 3rd in the East. They're 8-9 in away games.

Milwaukee is playing on the second night of a back-to-back following its 123-113 win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. They could be fatigued coming into a bad travel situation. Toronto has also dominated Milwaukee of late, winning the last five games in this series. For whatever reason, the Raptors matchup well, and have a favourable scheduling spot tonight.
Our Prediction:
As for my prediction, we think this is going to be a closely contested matchup between two talented teams. The Raptors have more on the line here, with more urgency to turn things around on a 3-game losing streak. Ultimately, we think the Raptors will come out on top, thanks to their balanced scoring and solid defense, and also cover the -4.5, even though many bettors will be tempted by the generous number of points.
