It's an Eastern Conference clash between two teams heading in very opposite directions, and we're offering our top Raptors vs. Bucks player props based on the best NBA odds.

Every time we think the Toronto Raptors have hit rock bottom, they reach a new low. The Raptors suffered a demoralizing 44-point loss to the New York Knicks on March 27. However, they fell further with a staggering 48-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Toronto now travels to Milwaukee to face the Bucks, who are among the contenders by our NBA Championship odds.

The Bucks sit second in the Eastern Conference and look poised to make another strong playoff run thanks to superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who always seems to be lurking in the NBA MVP odds even when the award has been essentially decided.

With the Raptors serving as 14.5-point underdogs for this game - set to tip off at 8:00 p.m. from Fiserv Forum - and the Bucks looking to finish the season strong, could we be in for another massive blowout?

Here are our best Raptors vs. Bucks player prop predictions and NBA picks (odds via our best NBA betting sites; Pick confidence is based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Raptors vs. Bucks prediction

Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 30.5 points (-110 via Betway)

The best argument for betting the Under on Antetokounmpo's points total is simply that he may not need to score 31.

With the way Toronto is playing, the Bucks star could end up being on the floor for fewer than 30 minutes. That was the case for many of the Minnesota Timberwolves' starters on Wednesday.

His projection suggests as much, too, as he's expected to score only 28.9 points on Friday. Additionally, this price at Betway represents the best odds across any of our best sports betting sites, and it provides us with better than 15% positive expected value based on that projection.

It's always a bit scary to fade one of the NBA's most lethal scorers. But the expected game script provides us with confidence that Antetokounmpo won't be given the opportunity to rack up 31-plus points.

Additionally, Antetokounmpo's teammates did most of the damage when these teams squared off earlier in 2023-24.

Immanuel Quickley Under 17.5 points (-110 via Betway) ⭐⭐⭐  

We're backing the Under on Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley for reasons similar to that of the Antetokounmpo bet.

However, here it's less about Quickley needing to score this many points and more about head coach Darko Rajakovic not giving him the opportunity to do so if the Raptors are getting destroyed in the second half.

Quickley played just 28 minutes despite only three players being on the Raptors' bench on Wednesday against Minnesota. He scored 16 points in the blowout loss and could replicate that performance on Friday.

His projections suggest as much, too. He's projected to score 16.7 points, which provides us with better than 10% +EV on this bet thanks to Betway's -110 odds.

With Toronto potentially getting some players back who weren't available against the Timberwolves, Quickley could play around 25 minutes against the Bucks if this one gets out of hand.

RJ Barrett Under 3.5 assists (+105 via Betway) ⭐⭐⭐  

We're betting our third Under in a row for this contest, just in case Raptors basketball wasn't already depressing enough.

This time we're targeting Raptors forward RJ Barrett's assists line after he sat out the team's game on Wednesday.

Barrett is projected to record only 3.2 assists on Friday, and that's nearly an entire assist below his season average of 4.1. The Canadian did rack up six assists in his last game against the Los Angeles Lakers, which marked a return from a near-month-long absence. But Toronto remained relatively competitive for most of that contest, and it was at home.

Now on the road and with the team playing out the string, Barrett's minutes could be far more limited than the 26 he played in that outing.

Based on Barrett's projection, we're getting nearly 25% +EV on this bet through Betway's plus-money odds. It won't be fun to watch, but we're receiving good value with all three Unders.
