Point Spread: -4.00 | -110.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Win
First off, I like the Raptors here even if their leading scorer, DeMar DeRozan, has to miss a third straight game. If he plays, it's a nice bonus.
The Raptors have hung tough without their star losing 108-106 to the Spurs and 101-99 on the road to the Grizzlies. However, the Raptors are saddled in a season-high five-game losing streak. This is a stop-the-pain game for them being at home against the Bucks, who are sub .500 team and have lost six of their last seven games.
The Bucks have given up an average of 112 points in their last seven games. Only three teams score more points per game than Toronto.
Milwaukee has failed to cover 11 of the past 15 times when going against an opponent with a winning home record. The Bucks are 0-2 this season, too, versus Toronto losing by six at home and by 22 at Toronto.
