Antetokounmpo's triple-double, Lillard's 25 points power Bucks past struggling Raptors 128-104

By IAN HARRISON Associated Press The Associated Press TORONTO

TORONTO (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 11 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds for his fourth triple-double of the season, Damian Lillard scored 25 points and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the struggling Toronto Raptors 128-104 on Monday night.

Antetokounmpo needed three stitches to close a cut near the base of his right pinkie, but returned to finish his third career triple-double against the Raptors.

Bobby Portis scored 20 points, Gary Trent Jr. had 17 against his former team and Brook Lopez added 16 for Milwaukee, which outscored the Raptors 63-24 in bench points and handed Toronto its 13th loss in 14 games.

Lillard scored 15 points in the third.

Milwaukee came in having lost two straight and four of five, all to teams with losing records. But the Bucks handled the Raptors, building a 33-point lead, 113-80, after a Lopez 3-pointer in the fourth quarter.

RJ Barrett scored 25 points and Scottie Barnes had 21 for the Raptors. Jakob Poeltl scored 12 points, and Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick each had 11.

Khris Middleton (ankle) sat for Milwaukee after playing the past eight games.

Takeaways

Bucks: Milwaukee has gone 16-8 in a stretch that began with a Nov. 12 home win over the Raptors, meaning the Bucks have won twice as many games as they’ve lost since starting the season 2-8.

Raptors: Toronto’s trio of Barnes, Quickley and Barrett played together for the first time this season, starting alongside Poeltl and Dick.

Key moment

Portis connected twice from deep as the Bucks turned the game in their favor with a 20-2 run late in the opening quarter.

Key stat

Milwaukee outscored Toronto 66-27 on 3-pointers. The Raptors shot 9 for 35 from long range, going 4 for 26 through the first three quarters.

This is how we previewed this game....

Bucks are strong favourites with the sportsbooks, 7.5 point favourites at odds of around 1.33. Both teams have a dismal last five game record, both are one from five, but looking at the results, when the Bucks get beat, it is a close game, they haven't lost by more than six points in any of their last four losses. The Raptors on the other hand are generally getting hammered. By nine against Orlando, by 34 against Boston, by 29 against Atlanta and Memphis.

Fair to say we'd expect the Bucks to cover the spread (currently 7.5), if they win! Lets see what the main tipping sites think.

(Our Player Prop Bet Tips are further down this page)

Dimers - tipping a Raptors +7.0 bet, the Bucks to win
Clutch Points - Bucks to cover the spread, noting, like us, the spread seems low at 7 to 7.5
Pickswise - Milwaukee to cover the spread, another vote of confidence in our opinion
Sportskeeda - Bucks to cover the spread, and Over 230.5 points
Betting Odds - Tipping a 118-112 win for Milwaukee, Raptors +7.5
Sportsline - forecasting a 115-111 Bucks win, and two moderate leans towards: Raptors to win (value bet), and Under 231.5

So of the six main NBA tipping sites, its three for and three against the Bucks covering the spread.

A decent set of tips for us on this game. Bucks won by 24, so covered the spread three times over.
