Bucks vs. Raptors prop picks: Expect Scottie Barnes to stuff the stat sheet

The Toronto Raptors welcome the Milwaukee Bucks to Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night.

Bucks vs. Raptors is on January 4. Scottie Barnes has been stuffing the stat sheet lately. Fred VanVleet's shooting volume has us backing his three-point line.

Bucks are playing the Raptors. Barnes is averaging 18.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists over his past five games. He's played 35-plus minutes in each of his last five matches. Bucks are without Khris Middleton. The Bucks and Raptors are five-point favourites.

Barnes has been a beast on the glass lately. He's gone over 14.5 points in 53% of all games this season and 9 of 16 since December 1. Barnes is averaging 17.1 points per game on 49.6% shooting at Scotiabank Arena compared to 12. 5 PPG on 39. 6% on road.

VanVleet is over 2.5 threes in five of his last seven games. He's averaging 9.3 attempts in that span. Milwaukee's defence is stingy, but VanVeleet's volume from three is worth the gamble.
