Top NBA Plays Thursday December 2nd| Traptors
It's a 5-game DFS slate tonight and one of the games that sticks out is the Bucks being just 4 point favorites at Toronto. Milwaukee is riding an 8 game win streak while Toronto has lost three in a row while scoring under 100 points in each. The Bucks are on the back to back, but this game looks like a crazy trap and one to possibly target the Raptors.
Other notable games on the slate are the Bulls visiting the Knicks, and the Trail Blazers continuing life without Damian Lillard when they host the Spurs. Let's get to it:
Tonight's Key NBA Matchups
Bulls (-2) @ Knicks, O/U 208.5 7:30 ET
Third meeting of the season between these two, splitting at the United Center so far. Julius Randle went off on 11/21 with 34 and 10 (51fp) but Nikola Vucevic is also coming off a 30/14/5 (63fp). Is either one sustainable?
Bucks (-4) @ Raptors, O/U 215 7:30 ET
Seems like a trap line (MIL -4) which would mean a solid Toronto night. The Bucks are on a back to back after a fast paced 127-125 win over Charlotte last night and does anybody go back to the well after 40/12/9 from Giannis Antetokounmpo last night (70fp) in 38 minutes?
Thunder @ Grizzlies (-9.5), O/U 212.5 8:00 ET
Blowout game potential here not just because the Thunder are on the back to back, but because they're banged up as well with some illness running through the locker room. Can Shai Gilgeous-Alexander repeat a 39 real point performance (49fp) from last night after playing 38 minutes?
Pistons @ Suns (-12), O/U 208.5 9:00 ET
Letdown game for Phoenix? They are coming off a huge win over Golden State but also attempting to go for a franchise record 18th straight victory against a Pistons squad that has dropped 7 in a row. Devin Booker is out with a hamstring injury as well.
Spurs @ Trail Blazers (-5), O/U 216 10:00 ET
Damian Lillard (abdominal) looks like he's going to be out for a while but Norman Powell has at least been updated to questionable. CJ McCollum had 28 real points Tuesday when Lillard sat.
