I would guess that the Bucks and the Raptors - who were both idle last night - will be more-than-ready to lace up their sneaks and get things going this Friday night in TO.
A look at series numbers when these teams meet at the Air Canada Centre shows 12 of the last 17 having pushed their way Over the posted total. Both meetings this season between the teams have indeed played High, and that includes their New Year's Day meeting that resulted in a 131-127 overtime win for the host.
Milwaukee went to the break having landed Over the total in 2 of their last 3, while Toronto entered the All-Star pause with Overs in each of their last 3 contests.
Always a big fan of looking for the points to add up when teams are playing regular season games after long layoffs, and this year's All-Star break qualifies as a long layoff.
Bucks-Raptors to land Over on Friday night.
2* MILWAUKEE-TORONTO OVER
