The Milwaukee Bucks and the Toronto Raptors clash in Toronto on Friday in what will be the 2nd game of the season for both. While both were involved in high-scoring games, we should see a much more defensively-astute game here. Last season, both teams finished in the top-half of the league in defensive rating. Since then, the Bucks have gained more rim protection, with Myles Turner offering more of a mobile option than the departed Brook Lopez. The Raptors, on the other hand, have a great amount of size in their starting 5 and should be well positioned to build a wall around the paint that Giannis Antetokounmpo will have to overcome.

Despite putting up 138 points against the Atlanta Hawks, the Raptors were able to knock down just 6 of 25 3-point attempts. That’s just 24%. They were 29th in 3-pointers made per game last season, and the addition of Brandon Ingram might not swing the needle much. The Bucks finished last season 7th in opponent points in the paint last season, and with improvements in that area, they should be able to make things very tough on the hosts. In 3 meetings between these sides last season, 2 of the games came in under the combined 233-point mark. With the teams focusing on defending the paint in this one, look for the season series between them to start in similar fashion.

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
