Bucks vs Raptors NBA Preview
Raptors -1.5
I think the Raptors are good. Just a good team. They’re tough, they defend, they get out and run.
The Bucks will be without Kevin Porter Jr. in this game, and he’s their starting point guard.
Ryan Rollins can handle things, but there’s a good chance turnovers are a problem in a loud environment, and that fuels Toronto’s break.
I project this at Raptors -2.8.
RJ Barrett Over 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
RJ Barrett is getting a lot more touches than I thought he might with Brandon Ingram around.
That, combined with his playmaking and rebounding, has me confident in his season.
Barrett had 38 in the Raptors' season-opener, and while I don’t think he’ll clear by that much, I do think this line is good to 30.
Bucks vs Raptors Best Bets
- Raptors -1.5 (-110)
- RJ Barrett Over 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)
Spread
As mentioned, I like the Raptors and I believe they can cover the spread tonight.
Moneyline
I don't see value on either side of the moneyline.
