Randy’s Pick
The Toronto Raptors have won 7 of the last 10 games against the Bucks, and that includes a win a couple of weeks ago. The Milwaukee Bucks have had issues on the road and their defense has yet to get going. Still, the Raptors are hit or miss offensively and one of their better players in O.G. Anunoby is still doubtful with a finger injury. The Bucks will get going eventually. The line is reasonable. I’ll side with the Bucks in this contest.
