Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Dec. 12 at Toronto Raptors
By Ti Windisch
The Milwaukee Bucks have lost two straight, and now face a real challenge as the team takes on the Toronto Raptors. Winter is here.
The Milwaukee Bucks are struggling this week. After a nice win over the Portland Trail Blazers, the Bucks have dropped back-to-back games to the Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards.
Things are not about to get easier for the Bucks. The next game on the schedule is a tough one against the Toronto Raptors in Toronto. No team has been better than the Raptors in their last ten games, of which Toronto has lost just two.
Sitting just a game and a half behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Raptors seem ready to prove a whole lot of doubters wrong this season. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are still great, and might be better than ever this time around.

The Bucks can win this game, but they’ll need Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker to be better than they’ve been recently. Neither of Milwaukee’s two stars have looked great, and the team has suffered for it.
To beat a team like the Raptors at home, the Bucks need to come correct. Hopefully the team can come together and grab another statement win against a powerful Eastern Conference foe, or this losing streak will get even longer.
We’ll look at a major key for each team to win on Monday, and then examine one Raptor that deserves more attention than the rest. After that, it’s predictions time.
