Milwaukee is coming off a loss that snapped the Bucks’ six game winning streak and will be at home against a Toronto squad that will be playing the second half of a back-to-back. Milwaukee has covered the number in five of its last six and the Bucks are 12-2 straight up over their last 14 games at home. Toronto has three regulars sidelined with injuries or covid and playing twice in as many days will have an affect on the club being short-handed. Final Score Prediction, Milwaukee Bucks win and cover ATS 115-103.
