The Toronto Raptors welcome Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks into town on Tuesday night.
The pregame narrative: Giannis drained a buzzer-beater to cap off a huge performance against the Indiana Pacers yesterday. The Greek Freak is top three in scoring (34.0 PPG) and rebounding (13.3 RPG) so far, but it’s Toronto that’s a 4.5-point favourite to win at home.
Check out my Bucks vs. Raptors SGP, featuring picks on Giannis, Brandon Ingram and Ryan Rollins.

Bucks vs. Raptors SGP predictions
Parlay: Raptors moneyline | Ingram 15+ points | Giannis 25+ points | Rollins 6+ assists (+480)
Raptors moneyline (-180): The Raptors will have their hands full with Giannis tonight, but the rest of Milwaukee’s roster isn’t that threatening.
Only one other player (Rollins) is averaging north of 15.0 PPG. Giannis leads the Bucks in all three major stat categories while playing a team-high 32.5 minutes a night.

I expect Giannis to fill the basket, but he’ll be fighting an uphill battle on a back-to-back.
Toronto, meanwhile, has received great production from Ingram, RJ Barrett, and Scottie Barnes. All three of them are averaging 20+ points per game while shooting above 50% from the field.
The Raptors went 24-16-1 ATS at home last season. Look for them to win a third straight game.
NBA SGP legs
Ingram 15+ points (-400): Ingram has been as advertised for Toronto: An efficient scorer who can stretch the floor and do damage in the mid range.
- Ingram is averaging 22.3 PPG while shooting a steady 55.0% from the field.
- He’s 6-1 against this milestone while scoring 20+ points five times.

Ingram takes 54% of his shots in the mid range, which ranks in the 97th percentile of all players, per Cleaning the Glass.
Milwaukee has the 18th-rated mid-range defence in the NBA. Ingram scored a season-high 29 points agianst the Bucks on Oct. 24.
Giannis 25+ points (-375): Giannis has been automatic against this number through six games, scoring a league-high 34.0 points a night.
He’s dropped 30 points in all but one game (26 points vs. the Kings) and scored 31 against the Raptors on 11-of-14 shooting earlier this year.
The Greek Freak ranks fifth in FG% (68.1%) and is getting to the line 10.8 times a night. I like his chances of reaching this milestone even in a loss.

Rollins 6+ assists (+112): Rollins has flown up the Most Improved Player odds board after a stellar start to the year.
He’s averaging 17.0 PPG — up from a previous career-best of 6.2 PPG — while dishing out 5.7 helpers a night.
This is the 23-year-old’s first year as a full-time starter, and the Bucks should love what they’re seeing from the point guard.
After a ho-hum start, Rollins has logged seven-plus assists in four of his last five games. In that span, he’s averaging 12.4 “potential assists” (a pass that leads directly to a shot) per game.
