The Milwaukee Bucks (10-14) will be taking on the Toronto Raptors (8-18) tonight at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
The Bucks are currently riding a three-game losing streak after their emotional win over the Miami Heat at home while the Raptors have lost two in a row. Both teams overcame large deficits in their previous games only to lose.
Milwaukee came back against the Phoenix Suns after being down 17 points. They tied the game with under a minute to go but Steven Nash scored a layup with five seconds remaining.

The Bucks rank 16th in points, 25th in rebounds, 11th in assists and 17th in points allowed per game while the Raptors rank 28th in points, 16th in rebounds, 18th in assists and 1...

I don’t believe in this ‘smaller line-up’ the Toronto Raptors have been using lately, starting two point guards, shifting DeMar DeRozan and James Johnson out of their natural positions. The Raps usually get out-matched by a team with size, and ultimately takes a toll on the players bodies.
