Raptors money line vs. Bucks (-190)

"Utter flat-game spot for the Bucks after a buzzer-beating win by Giannis in Indy on Monday, and I frankly don't think the Freak plays Tuesday; clearly the books are leaning that way as well. The fans in Toronto already saw him on Oct. 24 when the Bucks won there," SportsLine NBA handicapper Matt Severance said. "This just absolutely smells like a sit game -- first B2B of year for Milwaukee -- considering he's listed on every injury report anyways. And the Raptors, on normal rest after cashing for us Sunday, are not a bad team that might well take care of business regardless. Toronto is also likely to get starting center Jakob Poeltl back from a three-game injury absence." Back Toronto at BetMGM Sportsbook now:

Duke -8.5 vs. Texas (-115)

The Longhorns hired Sean Miller away from Xavier last year and he did well to compose an experienced roster for his first season, but Texas will be much better off when he has a full recruiting cycle under its belt. Meanwhile, Duke lost its top five scorers from last season's Final Four team to the NBA but Jon Scheyer reloaded with the No. 1 recruiting class in the country. Cameron Boozer and Nikolas Khamenia could both be lotto picks next year and Caleb Foster, Isaiah Evans and Maliq Brown were all key depth pieces last year. The model predicts that the Blue Devils cover in 59% of simulations. Back Duke at BetMGM Sportsbook now:

Over 233.5 points in Warriors vs. Suns (-115)

The Over has hit in five of seven games for both the Suns and Warriors so far this season, and if you drill down a little further, the Over has hit in all three of Phoenix's road games while Golden State is 2-1 to the Over at home. The Over has also hit in six of the last 10 head-to-head matchups between these two franchises. Al Horford (toe) and Dillon Brooks (groin) have both been ruled out already, taking a solid defender off the board for both teams. The model predicts that the Over hits in 62% of simulations, and this is one of its A-rated picks for Tuesday. Back the Over at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
