Misfired with Tuesday's complimentary play on Gonzaga in college hoops. For Wednesday’s freebie, it’s back to the Association as we’ll lay the big lumber with Milwaukee at Atlanta.
Admittedly, this is a tricky spot for the Bucks, who tonight conclude a three-game road trip as well as a stretch in which they’ve played seven of their last eight games on the highway. But through the first seven of those contests, Milwaukee is 6-1, which is part of an overall 8-1 run.
Now, it’s true Giannis and Co. haven’t exactly been ringing the cash register with regularity during this nine-game stretch, going just 5-4 ATS. But what they have done with regularity is score points in bunches. In fact, the Bucks have scored in triple digits in all 12 of their games, cracking 115 points 10 times and 120 points seven times.
Here’s why that’s important tonight: The Hawks play no defense—I mean zero defense. Over their last seven games—during which they’re 1-6 SU and ATS, by the way—the Hawks have surrendered point totals of 121, 124, 121, 128, 150 and 122. Not only were all six of those losses by double digits, but the average margin of defeat was—get this!—21.3 points. In fact, since starting the season with consecutive wins over the Pistons and Magic, Atlanta 2-9 SU and 3-8 ATS, with the last eight losses being double-digit routs.
Look for the Bucks to bust open the game in the second half, build a 20-plus-point lead and coast home with their seventh double-digit win of the season.
3* MILWAUKEE

Wednesday comp play is Toronto at home over Orlando.
They simply do not lose at home.
The Raptors are off to a 9-4 start to their new season as defending NBA Champions, and thus far life without Kawhi has gone just fine. Nick Nurse's team has played 5 games at home so far this season and they have won them all straight up, while covering in 4 of the 5 wins. That includes a Monday return home after dropping 2 of their last 3 on a 5 game road swing, as the Raptors ran away from the Charlotte Hornets, 132-96.
I don't think they win tonight's game over Orlando by almost 40 points, but I do see them winning by enough to cover the impost here on Wednesday. Orlando is hitting the road for the first time since November 6th, as they enjoyed a 5-game homestand that saw them win their final 3 and 4 of the 5 overall. Away from home Orlando is winless in 4 attempts, and the points have only helped them one time in those 4 road losses.
This is already the second meeting this season between the teams, Toronto taking the first down in Florida by a 104-95 count as the 4 point road dog. That win comes after the Raptors eliminated the Magic in 5 games last postseason. Orlando was able to take the first game in that series, but the Raptors reeled off 4 straight wins and covers to close out the Magic on their run to the NBA crown.
Orlando is just 1-4 against the spread their last 5 games played on Toronto's hardwood and I don't see that mark improving in this spot.
Toronto keeps their perfect home court mark in tact with this Wednesday win and cover.
5* TORONTO

It's 2-0 Georgia Tech visiting 3-0 Georgia tonight, as the Yellow Jackets are looking to end a 4 game series slide both straight up and against the spread. Not only has UGA won 4 in a row in this series, it really has not been close, as the Bulldogs wins have come by 11, 21, 17 and 14 points!
Have to lay the small wood again tonight with Tom Crean's team, as the 'Dawgs have opened this season with 3 games played at home, and all 3 of them have been decided by a wide margin. Georgia comes in averaging over 95 points per game thus far, while the Yellow Jackets are posting an average of 73 points in their first 2 wins.
The real issue with Josh Pastner's team tonight is the status of starting point guard Jose Alvarado who did sit out Tech's win on the 11th over Elon with a sprained ankle. After 9 days, chances Alvarado goes in this rivalry game (and in quadruple revenge!) appear pretty good, but just how effective will he be is the real question?
Tom Crean is trying to build something in Athens, and the landing of 5-star recruit Anthony Edwards for this season shows he is on the right track. Edwards only scored 6 in Geoirgia's last win, but had a combined 53 points in their first 2 wins this season.
Rayshaun Hammonds is another big body up front where the Bulldogs should have the decided advantage tonight. The loss of Jordan Harris who violated team rules and has been suspended indefinitely will hurt long term, but for now guards Donnell Gresham and senior Tyree Crump will have to shoulder the load.
Surprised this number is so low based on recent series results.
Go with Georgia to make it 5 straight series wins and covers over Tech this Wednesday at the Steg.
5* GEORGIA
