The big news for this game is that Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is out again. The Bucks have lost three of the last four games that he has missed, with their lone win coming against a Pacers team that was also shorthanded Monday. The Raptors have a mostly clean injury report, and with their win over the Knicks in New York on Monday, have won three of their last four games on the road. Giannis being out is the difference-maker here.

Second of a B2B for both. This has dropped from Bucks -4.5 with Giannis out yet again and might keep going if the Raptors don't rest anyone, and as of now they aren't. Milwaukee doesn't play again until Saturday, so clearly the team wanted to get the Freak nine days of rest on that knee as he last played on Jan. 11. The Raptors have won their past five in Beer Town with Giannis missing most of those, too.
