With the Milwaukee Bucks still holding home-court advantage in the series, the Toronto Raptors will once again be underdogs heading into Game 5. (OddsShark)
After falling to defeat in the first two games of the series, Toronto rebounded at home with a pair of character wins, capped by a dominating 120-102 victory in Game 4 that leaves the series tied at 2-2 going into Thursday’s Game 5 matchup at Fiserv Forum.
With Tuesday’s win as 3-point underdogs, the Raptors continued their solid play on home court, where they have now won outright in four straight, and in seven of nine during the playoffs. However, with the Bucks still holding home-court advantage in the series, Toronto must find a way to overcome their current 1-4 SU run away from Scotiabank Arena.
In addition, the Raptors are a meagre 1-3 SU and against the spread in their past four trips to Milwaukee, including a pair of losses by double-digit margins, according to theAnd while the Raptors received a strong effort from up and down the lineup while handing the Bucks their first consecutive losses since early March, the health of Kawhi Leonard remains a concern after the former NBA Finals MVP suffered an apparent leg injury in Game 3.
