The Milwaukee Bucks have been a much better team since turning up the tempo, but with just three games to play and three games out of the No. 8 and final playoffs spot, the reality has hit home. The fact is that the Bucks have been in must-win situations for their last seven games, and they have gone 2-5 straight-up. So with virtually no hope left this is an easy laydown spot for a team playing poorly when they needed it the most. This season, the Bucks have beaten the Raptors twice by identical 105-99 scores. The good news coming out of that for Toronto is that Dwane Casey is 31-24 straight-up in his coaching career revenging a loss where opponent scored 100+ points, including 11-5 if revenging two-straight such losses to an opponent. Toronto has a chance to make another team feel what they felt far too early in the season and that is no playoffs, and a win here sends Milwaukee packing. Play Toronto on the moneyline.
