The Toronto Raptors were taken off guard in Game 1 as Milwaukee came out breathing fire and never relented. The Bucks dug in on defense, holding the Raptors to 83 points. The effort was enough to make the scoring output by Toronto their lowest this season, as they were previously not held to fewer than 90. I think you're going to see a different team take the floor tonight. The Bucks haven't exactly put together a confidence-building resume on the road this season, especially as a dog. The Bucks are 12-21 SU as a road dog, and just 13-20 ATS. The Raptors shot just 36.5% in Game 1 their lowest percentage in over a month, and it was their third worst effort as a home favorite on the season. The Raptors had one good sign, they won the battle of the boards by 11, and I think they get redemption in Game 2. Play on Toronto.
