The Toronto Raptors tip off against the Milwaukee Bucks late Saturday afternoon in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. Let’s walk through how the teams stack up against each other.
We’ll begin with a look at the starting backcourts.
Raptors
Toronto’s starting guards are both All-Stars. Shooting guard DeMar DeRozan has just completed one of the greatest individual seasons in the history of the franchise. At point, Kyle Lowry’s path to the playoffs was slowed by surgery to his right wrist. He appears to be fully recovered.
These two combined for almost 50 points per game this season.
