Free pick for the Eastern Conference finals Game 1

The matchup in the finals of the NBA’s Eastern Conference is set with the No. 2 Toronto Raptors squaring off against the No. 1 Milwaukee Bucks. Game 1 of this best-of-seven series is set for Wednesday night in Milwaukee with the Bucks favored by 6.5 points and the total set at 218. Game time on TNT is 8:30 p.m. (ET).

Toronto needed a buzzer-beating game-winning shot in Game 7 of their series against No. 3 Philadelphia to advance to this round. It closed as a six-point home favorite at VietBet in Sunday’s 92-90 win. The total stayed UNDER 210 points in that final game and it stayed UNDER in five of the seven games. The Raptors eliminated Orlando in the opening round of the playoffs with a 4-1 series win. They are an even 6-6 against the spread in the postseason.

One of the main reasons why Toronto traded for Kawhi Leonard was one too many early exits in the postseason. He has more than met expectations with an average of 31.8 points per game in these playoffs. He scored a game-high 41 points in Sunday’s contest, including the game winner in the closing seconds.

Milwaukee posted the best straight-up record in the NBA this season at 60-22 and it has gone on to eliminate Detroit in four games and Boston in five. The Bucks have also gone 8-1 ATS on VietBet’s closing line with the total going OVER in five of those nine postseason games. They are 4-1 both SU and ATS in their last five home games and they have a 3-1 edge (SU and ATS) in the season series against Toronto.

The Bucks owe most of this season’s success to MVP favorite Giannis Antetokounmpo. After averaging a team-high 27.7 points in the regular season, he has averaged 27.4 points in the playoffs. He shot 52.6 percent from the field in those first two series while pulling down an average of 11.3 rebounds a game.

Rust will not be a factor for Milwaukee on Wednesday night, but some level of fatigue from an extended series could hinder Toronto a bit. Lay the 6.5 points and take the Bucks both SU and ATS.
