Bucks vs Raptors Prediction
The Milwaukee Bucks aren’t consistent enough to be throwing out these massive numbers. The Bucks are also 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as a double-digit favorite. Five of those failed covers were outright losses, two of which came under the 2025 calendar. The Raptors are as healthy as they’ve been all season, and they’re fresh off wins over the Warriors and Celtics. This line is nuts, as it feels like oddsmakers are just throwing out random numbers when playoff teams meet bad teams. I’m not buying it. Give me the Raptors and the points, especially with how the Bucks have come up short time and time again in these spots.
