Recommended Bet and Odds 

Recommended Bet FanDuelBetMGM
Brandon Ingram O 23.5 points -132

Analysis and Rationale 

Brandon Ingram has been leading the Raptors offensively, dropping 21.8 points per game. He is shooting 47.2% from the field and 35.2% from the three-point range. In addition to it, he is also contributing 5.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game this NBA season. 

In the latest game against the Miami Heat, Ingram dropped 28 points, while shooting 47.4% from the field and 71.4% from the three-point range. In the last five games, he has cleared the mark thrice. Moreover, in the last two games against the Bucks, he dropped 21.0 points with 50.0% shooting from the field. 

Talking about the upcoming game, the Bucks have a lower defensive rate than the Raptors. In addition to it, the Bucks’ depleted roster for Thursday’s game makes Ingram scoring over 24 points a safe bet. 

Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors Predictions

The Milwaukee Bucks kicked off the season with high expectations and a mindset to finish better than the last season. However, how the season panned out is nothing similar to how they had planned it. Things weren’t already going their way when their star players, including Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a calf injury and was sidelined for almost a month. The Bucks, as a result, are struggling with inconsistency, and have been able to win only three of their last seven games. They are struggling offensively and have been putting up 113.9 points per game, while allowing 117.7 ppg. In addition to it, the Bucks have an offensive rating of 113.4, and a defensive rating of 117.0

On the other hand, the Toronto Raptors are one of the hottest teams this season. In spite of losing four games in a row, they have positioned themselves third in the conference with a win-loss record of 16-11. They have a mid-pack scoring at 115.4 points per game, while allowing just 113.2 points per game. Talking about their points per 100 possessions, the Raptors maintain an offensive rating of 114.8, and their defensive rating is 112.6, seventh best in the league. 

This highlights that while the Raptors must have their own offensive struggles, they are doing pretty well defensively, and are very much capable of restricting the Bucks under a certain total without much effort.

As far as the upcoming game is concerned, the Bucks enter the gameplay with a depleted roster and inconsistent journey. The Raptors, on the other hand, don’t have homecourt advantage, but they have recently snapped their four-game losing skid, and are definitely in a better position than the Bucks. Considering everything, the Raptors seem to have an edge, and are likely to extend their winning momentum. 

Predictions: Toronto Raptors to win.
