Moneyline
PASS.
Milwaukee (-210) is an impressive 4-1 on the 2nd night of a back-to-back this season, but risking more than 2 times your potential profit on the moneyline given Antetokounmpo is out again. Bet the spread or total instead.
Against the spread
BET RAPTORS +4.5 (-110).
Toronto has played well in Milwaukee over the last few seasons and should be able to carry over the momentum from its impressive overtime win at New York Monday. Toronto is 8-4 ATS as a road underdog and 4-2 ATS on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Take the points.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 224.5 (-115).
The Raptors step up defensively when facing top-tier competition as the Under is 10-2 in Toronto’s last 12 games vs. teams with a winning record. The Under is 4-0 in Milwaukee’s last 4 games on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and 10-2 in the last 12 meetings between these 2 teams.
