Pulled the trigger last night at -2.
Spent all day trying to find a way to justify a TOR bet. Couldn't find one. Feel Bucks are better team, crowd will be jacked again today.
Was all over the Bucks on Thursday. While the game script may play out differently, the Bucks have too much length, too much depth and too much emotion with the crowd for TOR to be able to win this game.
Such a great matchup for MILW - TOR primary scorers are their guards - and the Bucks length negates that advantage. Middleton is a great defender, as is Snell. And if Lowry/DeRozan get by those guys, then Maker/Giannis are filling in behind to clean up.
TOR's path to victory would be having role guys (Patterson/Carroll, etc) light it up from the 3 point line, DeRozan getting to the FT line 10+ times, and the Bucks having a poor shooting game. Obviously, this could happen (there are no locks in betting even if guys post that a game is a lock), but I like the Bucks here again.
Won't forecast another 30 point blowout - but Bucks winning by 10 points seems like the result to me.
Good luck everyone!
