The Toronto Raptors are one win away from pulling off the unthinkable. Three straight victories has put Toronto in the driver’s seat of the Eastern Conference Finals, and it heads home on Saturday with a chance to knock off the Milwaukee Bucks and meet the Warriors in the NBA Finals.
Some thought the Raptors would go down quietly after losing the first two games of this series, but they have rallied back and pulled off the crucial road upset in Game 5. Milwaukee might have to go north of the border for Game 6 but it is still going to feel like it can win the game and then get back home for the series decider.
This series has taken a stunning turn and the Raptors would love to close things out in Game 6 in NBA gambling.
This NBA basketball game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors will be held at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 25th, 2019. The game will be nationally televised on TNT.

Odds Analysis
The Raptors are listed as 2-point favorites to claim Game 6 and end the series. Toronto is -140 on the moneyline while the Bucks are listed as the +120 underdog. The scoring total is listed at 213.5 points.
The Raptors both covered the spread and paid off nicely on the moneyline in Game 6, with the “under” the correct call on the total in NBA gambling.
Last Time Out
Kawhi Leonard scored 35 points and the Raptors used a strong fourth quarter to pull off the 105-99 win in Game 5. Toronto was a seven-point underdog so it was an impressive upset win and now the Raptors are favored to make the NBA Finals for the first time in this series. Leonard hit some huge shots down the stretch and finished with nine assists and seven rebounds in addition to the scoring outburst.
Fred VanVleet was a great asset off the bench as he finished with 21 points, and the Raptors outscored the Bucks by 28 points when he was on the floor. Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with 24 points, six rebounds and six assists for Milwaukee, but fellow All-Star Khris Middleton had only six points on 2-of-9 shooting, although he did contribute 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
Lineup Shift
The Bucks made a change in Game 5, inserting Malcolm Brogdon into the starting lineup and putting Nikola Mirotic on the bench. Brogdon responded well, finishing with 18 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.
However, Mirotic did not look good as he missed all four of his shots and didn’t score in his nine minutes on the floor. It will be interesting to see what the Bucks decide to do in Game 6 when it comes to the starting lineup and rotation minutes.
Free NBA ATS Picks
The Bucks always seemed poised to grab complete control of this series and make the NBA Finals, but that is now in serious limbo. Milwaukee has to win to extend its season, while Leonard and the Raptors should be feeling great about their chances to end this series in six games.
The Bucks are the slight underdogs but they are still the better team and should be picked to pull out this win and force a Game 7 back in Milwaukee in NBA betting. The scoring total has dropped too low as the “over” is the correct pick.
NBA ATS Pick: Milwaukee Bucks 110, Toronto Raptors 107
