ATS: Toronto Raptors +1.5 (100)
LOSS for -3 unit(s)

Milwaukee Bucks at Toronto Raptors

Milwaukee at TorontoThe Bucks hosted the Phoenix Suns last night on the birthday of Steve Nash, now they travel to his country of origin as they look for a rare road victory. Milwaukee has been installed as road favorites three times this season, only to lose all three games in straight up fashion. That includes contests against Detroit, Sacramento and Charlotte. The Bucks own just three road wins all year and now they are expected to win by a margin in the second of a back to back situation. Thus far this year the Bucks have played twice on the road unrested against a rested foe. They failed to cover those games by margins of 8 1/2 and 16 1/2 points losing outright by 16 and 26 points. Milwaukee doesn't have the depth to be favored in this contest.Toronto has played 17 road games this year, the most in the league. They had very little time to practice with a full team before the season, but now they start a seven game home stand and we expect major improvement from the Raptors during this stretch. Toronto has been home dogs four times this year to the likes of the Hawks, Blazers, and Pacers twice. Those are three solid playoff type opponents. Milwaukee without their best player, not so much.PLAY TORONTO
