Milwaukee Bucks: 5 Key Stats Ahead of Toronto Raptors Series

8.8

The Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks are similar teams in some ways. One of those ways is three-point shooting. The Raptors and Bucks both made exactly 8.8 three-pointers per game over the course of the regular season.

Milwaukee shot 0.7 percent better from beyond the arc, but Toronto took 0.6 more threes per game to make the teams even in made threes per game. Unsurprisingly, both the Raptors and Bucks become much better teams when they make more than their typical amount of triples.

The Raptors made 10 or more threes 37 times in the regular season, and went 26-11 in those games. The Bucks had less high-volume games from deep, as Milwaukee made 10 or more threes 28 times. The Bucks went 18-10 in those games.

Three-point shooting is always an important factor in the modern NBA. If one team can obtain a clear advantage from beyond the arc, it will be much easier for them to win games in this series. Whichever team can get higher above their 8.8 threes per game average will get a leg up on their opposition.
