Toronto Raptors vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Raptors and Bucks are believed to be on different trajectories, despite both starting their seasons with a win. The Raptors are a young rebuilding team that is still trying to put together a consistent squad following their championship in 2019. Conversely, the Bucks are still in their championship window with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo still on their roster.
The Raptors started their season strong with a 138-118 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Similarly, the Bucks had a good start to their season, defeating the Washington Wizards 133-120 on Wednesday.
The Raptors have always been a competitive team, even when they have had weak rosters. We expect them to continue to compete at a high level. However, we think the high-end talent of the Bucks will be too much, and Milwaukee will come out on top.
