The Toronto Raptors should look a little better Friday night when they head to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks at 8 p.m. ET.

Where to Watch

Sportsnet and TSN 1050 will broadcast for Toronto. WMLW The M and 94.5 ESPN will call the game for Milwaukee.

What to Watch For

  • Toronto will have RJ Barrett and Kelly Olynyk back Friday and that should make the Raptors a little more competitive against a Bucks team that's been struggling of late. The Raptors offense can sort of tread water with Barrett and Immanuel Quickley on the floor. It's the minutes without those two where everything tends to fall apart.
  • At this point in the season, the Raptors are just hoping to find one or two depth players who can show something interesting for the future. Barrett, Quickley, Gradey Dick, Olynyk, and Ochai Agbaji will all be back next year. This is a chance for everyone else to show they deserve a spot on the roster next season.
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are both listed as questionable. If they do play, that should be reason enough to stick around. Antetokounmpo isn't going to win MVP this year, but he won't finish far from the top spot following another impressive season from the Greek superstar.

Injury Reports

Toronto has listed Gary Trent Jr., Bruce Brown Jr., and Agbaji as questionable to play. Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, Chris Boucher, DJ Carton, and Jontay Porter are all out.

Antetokounmpo, Lillard, and Patrick Beverley are all questionable to play. MarJon Beauchamp is doubtful. Jaylin Galloway will not play for the Bucks.

Game Odds

The Raptors are +14.5 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 12%. The total for the game 228.5.
