It’s been less than 24 hours since the Toronto Raptors tipped off in Detroit, but they’re back on the court again, just a little further west, as they visit the Milwaukee Bucks tonight.
The Raptors’ six-game winning streak came against teams that were missing one or more top players, and the Bucks will be without Jrue Holiday tonight. Does that give Toronto enough of an advantage? It certainly can’t hurt — Holiday guards Fred VanVleet better than just about anyone in the league.
On the other hand, this is the first time this season the Raptors are facing Giannis Antetokounmpo, who missed the first two meetings (both Raptors wins), and the Bucks are otherwise healthy.
