Milwaukee Bucks – Toronto Raptors Preview – Can the Bucks stop the slide?
Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors betting tips start with a simple fact: Milwaukee are 1-7 and have lost four in a row. This is the first season since Giannis Antetokounmpo was traded to the Miami Heat in July, and the hangover is obvious. Taylor Jenkins took over as head coach in the spring, and so far he has had little to work with.

Tip-off is at 01:00 GMT on Saturday 7 November (8:00 pm ET on Friday) at Fiserv Forum. It is a late one for European and African readers, but the market has a view. The Raptors are 4-4 and firm favourites despite playing without Kawhi Leonard, who is listed as out with left knee injury management. Check the official report before you bet, since statuses can change.
The two sides’ recent results explain the market. Milwaukee beat Indiana at home on 26 October, then lost to Houston by 32 and to Cleveland by 25. They also dropped games at Minnesota and Boston, so three of the four straight defeats were by double digits. Tyler Herro has been the one reliable scorer, with 21 points against Minnesota and 25 at Boston.
Myles Turner had a busy night in Boston too, with 12 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Neither has been enough.
Toronto are inconsistent, and they have not turned Leonard’s absence into a crisis. They won at the Clippers, lost narrowly at the Lakers and then went to Denver and lost heavily. Their defence leaks, but their offence keeps scoring. Against a Bucks side that has conceded 130-plus twice recently, that is a useful combination.
Milwaukee Bucks – Toronto Raptors Betting Tips
Betting Tip: Toronto Raptors (-6.5)
A spread this wide asks Toronto for a win by seven or more, and a six-point win loses the bet. I am still on board. Milwaukee have lost three of their last four by double digits, and their last home games ended in a 25-point and a 32-point defeat.
The Bucks are not blown out every night, but they have no stable defensive identity right now, and Toronto’s guards can attack that. Even without Leonard, the Raptors have the cleaner roster and the better form. This is the best bet on the card.
Betting Tip: Over 228.5
The Bucks have let in 130-plus twice recently, and all of Toronto’s last five games went past 225 points combined. That includes the Denver loss and the Lakers game, which was a shootout. Toronto concede freely too, so even a Bucks team in poor form can find points against them.
Overtime counts towards this total if it comes to that. I would back over 228.5 points on pace and Toronto’s own scoring alone.
Betting Tip: Milwaukee Bucks Total points: Under 110.5
This pairs an over on the game total with an under on one team’s total. That is not a hedge. It is one read of the game: Toronto score freely and do most of the work on the scoreboard, while Milwaukee are held down.
The Bucks scored 102 or fewer in three of their last four, and the only breakthrough there was the 111 against Cleveland in a 25-point loss. Without Giannis as an outlet, the offence relies heavily on Herro.
Toronto only need to make his night difficult. Under 110.5 points for the Bucks fits the same story as the spread.
All three picks lean on Toronto controlling the game. Compare the latest NBA odds at Campeonbet before tip-off, because prices move and the injury report may change.
