END OF MAY 21 PICKS
The two teams expected to fulfill from the Eastern Conference Finals will do exactly that beginning tonight when the Toronto Raptors travel to Milwaukee for the opening match of this collection. The total opened at 218 and is now 217.5 with two-thirds of the wagers coming in around the below in a small surprise, since the general public will enjoy overs, but not so far in this one.
The most surprising thing in relation to the total is not the variety of wagers on the under, but rather is that the lack of movement, as.5 isn’t that large of a movement taking into consideration the amount of wagers, particularly to get a playoff game in which more bettors are involved on a regular basis.
The teams were pretty inconsistent with their regular season games, as the Bucks won the first game 124-109, but escaped with a 104-99 victory in Toronto from 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’s been 3.5 months since the teams confronted.
There are a couple of different methods of looking at this one, with all the most evident being the 2 games played in Milwaukee were certainly the two highest-scoring games the teams have played with, while the two in Toronto were defensive conflicts.
The first game found 198 attempted field objectives, which was easily the highest of the three matches, as the others saw 181, 163 and 172. There were also 27 and 30 combined free throws attempted in the 2 games which landed under the complete and 47 and 58 foul shots taken from both games which landed over the number, so yet more, a correlation between free throws and overs comes into play.
Together with the Bucks stinking it up offensively against the Celtics, have to believe they’ll put a little more focus on offense here, but the key is the way the Raptors strategy the match, since they dropped both low-scoring games and split both which watched more points, so could see Toronto attempting to play in a faster tempo. Toronto added Gasol since the Bucks watched them last, while Milwaukee added Mirotic in the deadline.
A bit of a game to get a handle on, but likely to have a shot the above. Can’t ignore the two games played in Milwaukee and would not be surprised to see the Raptors attempt to fit Milwaukee on the scoreboard.
