END OF MAY 21 PICKS

The two teams expected to meet in the Eastern Conference Finals will do exactly that beginning tonight when the Toronto Raptors traveling to Milwaukee for the opening game of the series. The total opened at 218 and is currently 217.5 with two-thirds of this wagers coming in on the under in a bit of a surprise, as the general public tends to enjoy overs, but not so far in this one.
The surprising thing in relation to the total isn’t the number of wagers on the beneath, but instead is that the absence of motion, as.5 isn’t that large of a movement taking into consideration the amount of wagers, particularly to get a playoff game in which greater bettors are involved on a regular basis.
The teams were pretty inconsistent with their regular season matches, as the Bucks won the first game 124-109, but then escaped with a 104-99 victory in Toronto in the rematch. The Raptors came away with a 123-116 victory in Milwaukee and the Bucks took the season series with a 105-92 win in Toronto in January, so it has been 3.5 months since the teams confronted.
There are two or three different ways of looking at this one, with the most obvious being the two games played in Milwaukee were certainly the two highest-scoring games the teams have played with, while both in Toronto were more defensive conflicts.
The first game saw 198 attempted field goals, which has been easily the highest of those three games, as the others saw 181, 163 and 172. There were 27 and 30 combined free throws attempted in the two games which landed beneath the total and 47 and 58 foul shots taken in the two games which landed on the number, so once again, a correlation between free throws and overs comes into play.
Together with the Bucks stinking it up offensively from the Celtics, have to believe they will put a bit more focus on crime here, but the secret is how the Raptors approach the match, as they dropped both low-scoring matches and split the two that saw more points, so could see Toronto trying to play in a faster tempo. Toronto added Gasol since the Bucks saw them last, while Milwaukee added Mirotic in the deadline.
A bit of a game that is tough to get a grip on, but likely to have a shot the over. Can’t ignore the 2 games played in Milwaukee and would not be surprised to see the Raptors try to match Milwaukee on the scoreboard.
