Toronto Raptors vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but they keep finding ways to lose and they’re going to be without Damian Lillard. The Toronto Raptors aren’t winning games, but they are 8-3 ATS on the season and that’s all I care about in this business. The Raptors continue to compete and bounce here or there and they will start winning games. The Bucks are in free fall and are now undermanned with Lillard out. I’ll take the points with the Raptors.
