NBA Betting Odds – Toronto (2-1) at Milwaukee (1-2)
By Eric Williams
The Toronto Raptors, (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS, 1-2 O/U), should be fired up for this contest after dropping their last game 98-95 to the Boston Celtics in overtime on Sunday.
The Milwaukee Bucks, (1-2 SU, 2-1 ATS, 1-2 O/U) are coming off their first win of the season after beating the struggling
Chicago Bulls 78-72 on Saturday.
Here is a look at tonight’s Key Trends, followed by my Free NBA Betting Picks:
Key Raptors Trends
The Raptors are 8-2 ATS in their last ten games as a road favorite.
The Raptors are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as a road favorite of 0.5-4.5.
The Raptors are 25-10-2 ATS in their last 37 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600.

The Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games playing on two days rest.
The Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last five Tuesday games.

Key Totals Trends

The Under is 8-2 in Raptors last ten games vs. a team with a winning percentage below .400.
The Under is 7-1 in Bucks last eight vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.

Key Head-to-Head Trends
The Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
The Raptors are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in Milwaukee.
The Underdog is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings.
Analysis: The Raptors are second in the league in defense, allowing a miniscule 88.0 points per game while the Bucks are next to last in offense, averaging 86.7 points per game. While this sounds like a recipe for disaster for the Bucks, something tells me that Milwaukee is going to come out like gangbusters tonight and not only cover the spread here – but win this game outright.
Take the Bucks at home to cover at the very least.
