Milwaukee finished with a 48-34 record last season, winning the NBA Cup and finishing fifth in the Eastern Conference. They were bounced in five games by the eventual EC champs, Indiana, in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Bucks made a few changes to their roster in an attempt to make a deeper playoff run, trading Khris Middleton to Washington for Kuzma and acquiring Porter Jr. from the Los Angeles Clippers; however, the pieces didn't fit together well enough. That didn't deter management from continuing to retool the team in the offseason, signing Pacers star Myles Turner, waiving Damian Lillard, and letting Brook Lopez walk in free agency.
The addition of Turner turned heads around the league, and the big man gives Milwaukee elite rim protection and long-range shooting. He averaged 2.0 blocks per game last season and stretched the floor, hitting 2.2 three-pointers per game on 39.6 percent shooting. The Bucks also signed Anthony and SG Gary Harris, and re-signed Porter Jr., Gary Trent Jr., Bobby Portis, Taurean Prince, and AJ Green, giving them solid depth around Antetokounmpo and Turner. It's unclear whether this roster gives Giannis a supporting cast capable of competing with the beasts of the East, but the conference is more wide open with several contenders dealing with season-long injuries to star players.

Raptors should be competitive this season
Toronto (3-4 SU, 3-4 ATS, and 4-3 O/U) defeated Memphis 117-104 on Sunday. The Raptors are led by forward Brandon Ingram, who averages 22.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. They score 119.6 points per game (10th) on 50.4 percent shooting (4th), and hold their opponents to 120.6 points per game (22nd) on 50.0 percent shooting (28th).
Toronto went 30-52 last season, finishing 11th in the Eastern Conference, missing the NBA playoffs. Injuries derailed the Raptors' season from the jump, as Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley were sidelined for portions of November and December. While they were just 7-26 heading into the New Year, the Dinos were much more competitive in 2025, compiling a 22-21 record over the final 43 games. Improved defensive play was the catalyst, as Toronto went from 26th in defensive rating to 2nd after the All-Star break.
To build off their second-half improvement, the Raptors must stay healthy this season. They didn't lose or add much in free agency, drafting South Carolina forward Collin Murray-Boyles ninth overall. The 20-year-old averaged 16.8 points and 8.3 rebounds as a sophomore last season, showing off two-way athleticism. Re-signing center Jakob Poeltl (14.5 PPG and 9.6 RPG in 2024-25) was also key. Toronto built depth last season, as ten players averaged 17-plus minutes per game in 50-plus outings, and the team will benefit from the return of star forward Brandon Ingram (22.2 PPG, 5.6 RPG, and 5.2 APG), who was acquired in February but didn't suit up for the Raptors. The 28-year-old veteran will boost a formidable lineup already featuring Barnes (19.3 PPG, 7.7 RPG, and 5.8 APG), Quickley (17.1 PPG and 5.8 APG), and RJ Barrett (21.1 PPG, 6.3 RPG, and 5.4 APG).

Bucks vs. Raptors Pick and Preview
Spread Pick for Bucks vs. Raptors
- Toronto covers spread (4 Units)
Milwaukee needed a heroic performance from Giannis in the first matchup between these teams to win, which has been the case in several Bucks games this season. I'm skeptical the all-world superstar can put the team on his back again tomorrow night in the second game of a back-to-back after tangling with the defending Eastern Conference champs on Monday night. Toronto has been an improved offensive team through seven games, as Ingram has boosted the Raptors. Considering that they were among the top defensive teams after the All-Star break last season (2nd in defensive rating), I'm bullish on Toronto's odds of cracking the postseason field this year. They are forcing the sixth-highest opponent turnover percentage so far, and their opponents are showing fatigue at the foul line (fifth-lowest free-throw percentage in the NBA).
With all that said, I lean towards the Raptors' side against the spread versus the Bucks.
Over/Under Pick for Bucks vs. Raptors
- Under (5 Units)
I believe Toronto will make Milwaukee work for its buckets, wearing them down in the second game of a back-to-back. Antetokounmpo has a solid group around him, but he's got a lot on his plate this season. He's already dealing with a knee injury, as it is. The Raptors are high-tempo on offense, but slow down their opponents on the other end of the court, with the eighth-longest defensive possession length in the league. Milwaukee is average-paced in its half-court offense (16th in average offensive possession length), so it shouldn't be too tough to slow them down, reducing the number of possessions in Tuesday's game.
The under has cashed in two straight Raptors games and in three of their last four. They were off to a hot start offensively, but have cooled off, scoring between 103 and 117 points in three of their previous four games. I believe they are trending towards being an under team, getting back to the defensive mindset that made them competitive in the second half of last season. Bet on a lower-scoring game in Tuesday's Bucks vs. Raptors clash in Toronto!
