The Toronto Raptors host the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA regular season. It is at the Scotiabank Arena and on the night of Monday to Tuesday that the clash between these 2 Eastern Conference franchises will take place. Raptors fans have been going through an ordeal for several weeks. Their team has in fact lost 12 of its last 13 matches, and 8 of its defeats have been conceded at home. The surge that occurred on January 2 against Brooklyn after 11 losses in a row did not last as the Raptors fell again 48 hours later against Orlando. Having talented players on hand, like Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, coach Darko Rajakovic cannot give his team a defensive identity, Toronto having the 4th worst defense in the NBA with nearly 119 points conceded on average per match.
Brilliant winners of the NBA Cup on December 18 after beating the Orlando Magic, the Atlanta Hawks and the Oklahoma City Thunder in turn, the Milwaukee Bucks have been disappointing since their coronation. With only 3 successes obtained in their last 8 matches, Doc Rivers’ players do not have sufficient pace to catch up with Orlando and thus join the top 4 of the Eastern Conference. If Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to torment opposing defenses (29.3 points on average since December 31, the date of his return from injury), this is not the case for Damian Lillard, who has been struggling for 3 matches (less than 25% shooting).
