Our model had the Raptors slightly favored against the Bucks. And now it has them slightly favored against the Warriors.😬Here's a deep dive into why and whether or not I believe it. 53eig.ht/2W1NsJo
I don't think people realize how good the Raptors' starting 5 is (Lowry-Green-Leonard-Siakam-Gasol). They were very good in the regular season, but didn't play together much. Now they're +12.1 points per 100 possessions in the playoffs in a lot of minutes against tough opponents.
I'm less confident it's handling the Warriors correctly, though. I don't buy the "Warriors better without KD" narrative, they pretty clearly aren't IMO, but the Curry-led Warriors are still a really good team.
