The Toronto Raptors had won 12 of 13 before taking back-to-back losses at Dallas and Oklahoma City last week. They came back by putting a 111-98 beating on Atlanta on Friday, and I think they'll bring down the hammer on Milwaukee Bucks here on New Year's Day. Note that the Raptors are a solid 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off back-to-back victories against Minnesota and Oklahoma City, but this is a tough spot on the road following the New Year celebrations. Note that the Bucks are just 1-8-3 ATS in their last 12 against Eastern Conference foes and 3-7-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win.

My selection is a 10* play on Toronto Raptors.
