NBA Playoffs 2019: Bucks vs. Raptors odds, picks, Game 6 predictions from proven model on 85-61 roll

The Milwaukee Bucks, who had the best regular season record (60-22) in the NBA, will try to avoid elimination from the 2019 NBA Playoffs on Saturday night when they face the Toronto Raptors in a must-win Game 6 at Scotiabank Arena. The Bucks won the first two games of the series but have lost three straight for the first time this season. On Thursday night, Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard scored 35 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter, and added nine assists in Toronto’s 105-99 win, which put the Raptors one win shy of the first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history. Tipoff for Game 6 is at 8:30 p.m. ET. Sportsbooks list Toronto as a two-point favorite in the latest Bucks vs. Raptors odds, and the over-under for total points scored is 212, down a point from the opening line. Before you make any Bucks vs. Raptors picks or NBA Playoffs 2019 predictions, see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

This model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, is crushing its NBA picks. It entered the conference finals in the 2019 NBA Playoffs with a sterling record on its top-rated picks, returning more than $3,000 in profit to anybody following them this season. And it has been particularly red-hot on its A-rated NBA money line picks, entering the conference finals on a strong 85-61 run. Anybody who has followed it is way up.

Now, it has crunched the numbers for Game 6 of Bucks vs. Raptors. We can tell you the model is leaning under, but it also has a much stronger play on the spread, saying one side cashes in almost 60 percent of simulations. That pick is available only at SportsLine.

The model has considered that Toronto has found a rhythm offensively against the Bucks’ vaunted defense over the last three games. In the first two games of the series, the Raptors managed just 99.5 points per 100 possessions against Milwaukee, which led the league in defensive efficiency during the regular season at 104.9. 

Over the last three games, however, Toronto has torched the Bucks for 110.3 points per 100 possessions. Fred VanVleet has come alive offensively. He has averaged 17.0 points in his last two games, after averaging just 3.3 in the first three.

But just because Toronto is rolling doesn’t mean it will cover the Bucks vs. Raptors spread in Game 6 against the Milwaukee, the NBA’s top team during the regular season.

Antetokounmpo, the likely league MVP, scored 24 points on 9-of-18 shooting in Game 5, but knows he must do more to extend Milwaukee’s season. The Bucks are comfortable on the road, going 20-8-1 against the spread in their last 29 away games. And there’s no guarantee Toronto’s bench will continue to excel. Remember, VanVleet was 2-for-14 from long range over the first three games.

So who wins Raptors vs. Bucks? And which side of the spread cashes in almost 60 percent of simulations? Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the Raptors vs. Bucks spread you should be all over Saturday, all from the model that’s up more than $3,000 on top-rated NBA picks this season.
