The Milwaukee Bucks (47-29) host the Toronto Raptors (23-53) for a Friday night game.
The Bucks are coming off a stunning 10-point defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies. Brook Lopez led his team in scoring with 25 points. Lopez also had 10 rebounds. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 21 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists. Finally, Bobby Portis continued to play well off the bench, as he had 19 points and seven rebounds.
However, the Raptors are coming off an even worse loss as they were defeated by the Minnesota Timberwolves by a significantly larger margin. In that game, Gradey Dick had 16 points to tie a team lead in scoring. Meanwhile, Immanuel Quickly matched his effort with 16 points as well.
Do you see any chance of Toronto keeping this game within the spread tonight?

Game Prediction
The Bucks look happy to get through the regular season and focus on the playoffs. Injuries are always a concern around this time of year, but it looks like they’re exercising caution above anything else right now. Therefore, even against a depleted Toronto team, I still don’t like Milwaukee to win by too many points tonight.
Undoubtedly, there’s more talent on the court for the bucks tonight. However, I don’t believe the discrepancy is that high to warrant them being favored by as many points as they are. Therefore, I’m picking the Raptors to cover the spread tonight.
Final Pick
Toronto Raptors +14.5 (-112)
