The Milwaukee Bucks were eager to test out their new lineup and they will be feeling pretty good after routing the Wizards in a 133-120 home win on opening night. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 37 points, 14 rebounds and four assists on 16 of 26 shooting, Gary Trent Jr added 17 points on six of 12 shooting while Kyle Kuzma chipped in with 12 points off the bench for his new squad.

As a team, the Bucks shot a healthy 51 percent from the field and 18 of 44 from the 3-point line as they hit the ground running and were always in complete control after dominating the first quarter by 40-23. The newly acquired Cole Anthony scored just nine points while Bobby Portis finished with just two points, but the Bucks were never in danger after taking an early 22-point lead against a rebuilding Wizards team.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

The Bucks are going to be shorthanded for this game with Kevin Porter Jr sitting out injured due to an ankle sprain, while the Raptors are keeping eyes on Ja’Kobe Walter and Collin Murray-Boyles who are both questionable. The Bucks would have been delighted with their win in the season opener, but the level of competition steps up a bit against the Raptors who smashed the Hawks in the first game.

These teams met three times last season, with the Bucks winning all three meetings by an average of 18.7 points. I am a little surprised that the Raptors have opened as slight favorites at home, so I am sticking with the Bucks, who represent great value as the underdogs in this matchup.
