The Raptors face a formidable challenge against the dynamic duo of Giannis Antetokuonmpo and Damian Lillard.
The Toronto Raptors eagerly await the Milwaukee Bucks as they prepare for their last home game before embarking on a multi-week road trip. After recent losses to Chicago, Philadelphia, and Portland, this is not an ideal matchup for the Raptors, but they are determined to make it work.
The biggest storyline of the night is the first-time appearance of Giannis Antetokuonmpo and Damian Lillard as teammates in Toronto. Milwaukee acquired Lillard in a blockbuster trade before the start of the season, fulfilling his request to leave Portland.
Not only do the Raptors have to deal with the usual threat of Giannis in the front court, but they now have to contend with Lillard in the back court as well.
Following tonight’s game, the team will head directly to Philadelphia for their second meeting with the 76ers in a week, tomorrow night. They will then travel through Texas and eventually reach Boston for their upcoming games over the next few weeks.
Here’s the information for tonight’s game:
