The Milwaukee Bucks could string together their most impressive back-to-back on the season by beating the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night.

The Milwaukee Bucks could use a little magic on their side. The Miami Heat were dead in the water a few months ago, and then managed to win 17 of their last 21 games. The Bucks should be looking at Miami–a team they’re essentially neck-and-neck with in the standings right now–and saying “Why not us?”

I’m not sure there’s a good reason Milwaukee shouldn’t go on a run, aside from conventional logic and everything we’ve seen from the Bucks thus far this season. You know, little things like that.

Consistency has been this team’s biggest problem for some time, and every time it seems like Milwaukee is ready to rattle off a winning streak something goes wrong, whether it be an injury, a lineup change or just some bad luck.

Almost everything went right in the Bucks game against the Clippers on Friday night, but another challenge awaits to end their winning streak at just one game. The Toronto Raptors are without Kyle Lowry, but they’re still a hell of a team to go up against in the East.

With some crucial mid-season additions, Toronto has become one of the deepest teams in the Eastern Conference. They’re still not on Cleveland’s level, nor are they all that close without Lowry in the lineup, but the Raptors can play.

The Bucks will need to bring their A game once more on Saturday night. To find out how either team could come out on top, we’ll go through major keys for both squads, followed by highlighting a Raptor to watch and making score predictions.
