Milwaukee Bucks at Toronto Raptors Prediction

The total feels like the right place to be on this game. On only one occasion have both teams scored over the 96 points required to get to and surpass today’s line. That came in Game 2 when both teams went off from behind the arc with the Raptors hitting 14 of 29 and the Bucks connecting on 11 of 23. That didn’t happen in the other three matches and is unlikely to happen again tonight. Three of the first four fell short of the total and make that five after the buzzer sounds in Game 5.
