How much is Giannis Antetokounmpo going to have in the tank a day after hitting the game-winning shot against Indiana? The Bucks are on the second half of a back-to-back, and the Raptors have shown big-time signs of life at home. I'm scared to lay the points, so give me Toronto on the money line.

FanDuel. In his first season with the Raptors, Brandon Ingram is averaging 22.3 points over his first seven games, clearing this line four times. Having already netted 29 against the Bucks, his ability to score at all three levels off his own action should play very well. Milwaukee has struggled with similar scoring forwards (DeRozan with 29 points, Siakam 32, Kuminga 24 - all over the last three games).

Jakob Poeltl practiced on Monday and appears to be ready to go tonight. The Bucks are on a road trip back-to-back, were outrebounded by the Pacers last night and allowed Indiana to shoot 57% from 2pt range. I like the situation here for Poeltl. I figure the worst case scenario is the bet is nullified if he doesn't play. His average since last season is 24 points + rebounds so this line is assuming he may play reduced minutes. The over 16.5 is hitting at a whopping 82% (50-11) but if you isolate his games where he played a reduced 22 to 26 minutes he still averaged 20.7 with a 9-5 over trend.
Utter flat-game spot for the Bucks after a buzzer-beating win by Giannis in Indy on Monday, and I frankly don't think the Freak plays Tuesday; clearly the books are leaning that way as well. The fans in Toronto already saw him on Oct. 24 when the Bucks won there. This just absolutely smells like a sit game -- first B2B of year for Milwaukee -- considering he's listed on every injury report anyways. And the Raptors, on normal rest after cashing for us Sunday, are not a bad team that might well take care of business regardless. Toronto is also likely to get starting center Jakob Poeltl back from a three-game injury absence.
