"Milwaukee is being led by yet another all-time great season by Antetokounmpo and with Toronto's current size issues, he will be a headache to contain tonight. Antetokounmpo is averaging 34 points per game, 13.3 rebounds per game, and 6.8 assists per game with a 70.5 true-shooting percentage. He is also averaging 10.8 free throws per game on top of that. To say Antetokounmpo has been elite this season would be an understatement."
"Toronto has started to put together some wins, and longer stretches of good play in their recent games, but this matchup against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks will be a good litmus test for what this crew can really do and if their recent wins were merely a result of playing against less talented teams. Jakob Poeltl has been upgraded to questionable ahead of tonight's game, just in time to potentially aid Toronto against Milwaukee's huge frontcourt tandem."
Toronto has started to put together wins and longer stretches of good play in recent games, but the matchup against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks will test the team's progress and depth. Jakob Poeltl has been upgraded to questionable ahead of tonight's game and could help against Milwaukee's large frontcourt. Milwaukee is led by Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 34 points, 13.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists and a 70.5 true-shooting percentage while drawing 10.8 free throws per game. Toronto allowed Antetokounmpo 31 points on 78.6 percent shooting in the last meeting. Backcourt defense has been a persistent issue, while team defense has shown recent improvement as rotations become tighter and more cohesive. If Poeltl does not play, smaller defenders will face difficult matchups.
