Randy’s Pick
The Toronto Raptors have the ability to put up a fight in this game, and the length could give the Bucks trouble. However, the Raptors are inconsistent as all hell and just scored 91 points against the Trail Blazers. The Milwaukee Bucks are rolling offensively through 3 games, and it’s only a matter of time before the defense starts to pick up. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. If the Raptors have had issues scoring in previous games, I doubt things change here against the Bucks. I’ll lay the chalk.
