NBA Betting odds: The Milwaukee Bucks likely have no shot of winning the NBA title with their odds of winning it all checking in at a robust +1500. Who cares, we get to see Greek God Giannis Antetokounmpo in the playoffs! The Toronto Raptors on the other hand look to actually have a shot with their return on investment offering up an attractive 40-1 payoff. The Dinos took three of the four regular season meetings both straight up and against the spread, and blew the Bucks out the two times they hosted Milwaukee.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Toronto Raptors
Dates: Saturday, April 15 – Sunday, April 30, 2017
Jason Kidd has done an exceptional job turning the fortunes of this stagnant franchise around. The only thing people from Wisconsin did this time of year for eons is count the days until training camp starts for the Packers. Not anymore! This young team has caught many people’s attention, and it looks like the pieces are in place for it to compete with the best in the East for years to come. Only that time isn’t now. It needs to take its lumps and bruises at this stage to toughen up its skin for down the road. The Bucks might be able to steal a game at home, but don’t look for much more than that.
The Raptors are what the Bucks hope to be in a couple years. This is a veteran team that’s gone through some wars together, and it’s now poised to give the top teams in the conference a major run for their money. This squad has the size in Serge Ibaka and Jonas Valanciunas and excellent guard play in DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry to reach the NBA Finals after bowing out in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Cavs last year. On top of that, they’ve got the depth this time around as well. It won eight of its 10 home playoff games last season. If it can find a way to win more on the road, look out!
