Welcome to Opposition Intel!

Your Milwaukee Bucks are putting together a run of hot form, and enter tonight’s game against the Toronto Raptors off the back of a real statement win over the Portland Trail Blazers in their last performance.

Being shorthanded up front made no difference to Milwaukee as they turned over one of the league’s best teams on both ends of the floor. The Trail Blazers may be near the top of the Western Conference and top ten in both offensive and defensive rating, but they were no match for the surging young Bucks.

Monday’s game presents another tough challenge, as Milwaukee square off against another team in a good run of form. The Toronto Raptors have won six games in a row and defeated the Bucks as recently as two weeks ago.
