The Milwaukee Bucks are a long way from the 2-0 lead they held in this series. The Bucks have dropped three straight games and are now down 3-2 in the series. Fred VanFleet has been the difference maker for Toronto. In his previous eight games, Vanfleet was 3-of-23 from three-point range. But over the last two games, he has been a sizzling 10-for-12, which is not a sustainable percentage. The Bucks were the best team in the NBA East all season and I truly expect them to respond when facing elimination. The Bucks out-shot, out-rebounded and out-assisted the Raptors in Game 5 but Leonard and VanFleet were a combined 12-of-17 from beyond the arc and despite that Milwaukee lost by just six points. It doesn't happen often but a team that wins the shooting, rebounding and assists battle and lost as a home favorite are 5-0 ATS in the playoffs in their next game if they are a road dog. Take the points and play on Milwaukee.
