Peter's Pick

The Bucks have listed Antetokounmpo as probable due to right calf injury management, while the Raptors have ruled out Gary Trent Jr and OG Anunoby. The Raptors are playing good basketball at the moment, so they're more than capable of pulling off the upset at home, but the Bucks are the clear favorites given their revamped lineup. It's tempting to take the Raptors at home, but they've already played the Bucks at home this season back on Nov 1 and it was the Bucks who romped to a 130-111 win. I'm expecting a closer contest in this meeting, but I still think the Bucks get the win and cover on the road.
