Toronto Raptors vs Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee Bucks (-7) $1.85

The Bucks look to put a poor run of form behind them when they head to Toronto to take on the Raptors.

The Raptors are 1-9 across their last 10 games, and clearly looking to secure a decent spot in the 2025 draft.

Alternatively, the Bucks are 5-5 across the same trip, and have already bettered the Raptors by 14 points earlier this season.

Toronto have not only been loosing, but doing so in spectacular fashion, with their last five defeats accompanied by an average margin of -25 points!

I’m backing the Bucks to cover the -7 point spread.

New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic
New York Knicks (-10) $1.90

The New York Knicks play host to the corpse of Orlando Magic in an Eastern Conference showdown.

The Knicks are looking to clean sweep the Magic in their regular season series 4-0 after winning the pairs three previous meetings by an average margin of 16 points.

After a stellar start, Orlando’s season has been derailed with serious injuries to their three best players, leaving them extremely vulnerable on both ends of the court.

The Knicks are 8-2 across their last 10 games, and will be looking to explode out of a small 2-game losing streak.

I have the Knicks covering at home.
