Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors Fantasy NBA: Milwaukee Bucks will come onto this game after losing to Oklahoma City Thunder despite a triple-double by Giannis Antetokounmpo. Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors will enter the fray after losing to Minnesota Timberwolves despite 20+ point nights from Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, and Norman Powell. More information about the MIL vs TOR Dream11 match will be given here.
The Bucks have lost 3 games in a row yet remain second in the NBA standings for the Eastern Conference. They have felt the need to have Jrue Holiday and his absence has affected the offensive and defensive schemes for the Bucks which is the cause of their poor performances recently.
The Toronto Raptors are not the same squad that entered the NBA Finals couple of seasons ago and the departure of Kawhi left them with a huge hole. Since then they have relied on players like Fred Van Vleet and Pascal Siakam have developed well and are looking to take the Raptors to huge heights.
The Raptors and the Bucks will battle it out at the home turf of the Bucks and the Bucks will be relieved to finally get back at their home after a terrible road trip.

The Raptors have not started the season as they would have liked and are rightfully looking for a way to acquire Andre Drummond, who will sit out games for the Cavs and will not feature in a game until he is traded to a different team. On the other hand, the Bucks will need to win at home or their confidence will take a major hit after a daunting road trip where they lost one game after another without Jrue Holiday, whose importance can’t be stressed enough facing off against elite PGs.
The Bucks have a better record than the Raptors but Toronto is not a team that can be taken lightly as it has talents of Kyle Lowry, Fred Van Vleet, Norman Powell, and Pascal Siakam, all of whom are capable of putting together terrific performances. The matchup between Siakam and Giannis Antetokounmpo can turn out to be an exciting one. The game is worthy of NBA live stream of NBA streams as it features the reigning MVP in Giannis.
