So my logic here is that the Bucks should not be below -200. Toronto has a good roster but is 1-3 as it adjusts to new coach Darko Rajakovic. One of the team's top reserves, Precious Achiuwa (7.3 ppg, 8.0 rpg), is out. Milwaukee is healthy. This feels like a trap or that the books know something I don't, so we'll do a half unit. It's the front end of a B2B for the Dinos, who are 0-1 in that spot in 2023.
Milwaukee is 2-1 on the season but has yet to cover a spread. In their first road game of the season tonight they may be under valued against the Toronto Raptors. Their new first year coach in Adrian Griffin was an assistant for the Raptors the prior five seasons. Additionally, the Raptors are struggling to adjust early in the season. Take the Bucks as the road favorite.

The Bucks need Giannis Antetokounmpo to step up his game on the defensive end with Jrue Holiday now a member of the Celtics. Damian Lillard is an elite scorer, but he is not good defensively. Although Giannis only had one block against the Heat on Monday, he had at least three combined steals and blocks in both of his first two games. The Raptors are tied for the third-most blocks allowed per game, while also allowing an average of 8.0 steals per game. Look for Giannis to have a productive night on the defense end.

The Raptors are building around third-year star Scottie Barnes, and he continues to play 37-plus minutes while filling up the stat sheet. Milwaukee is playing its first road game after not defending well in three home games (4th-worst defensive rating). Toronto coach Darko Rajakovic is urging his 1-3 team to play with more pace in its halfcourt sets, which could lead to a few more possessions. Look for another strong all-around game from Barnes, who has gone Over this number in three straight.
