The Milwaukee Bucks are to set to host the Toronto Raptors Saturday night for the first time since the reigning NBA champions put an end to the Bucks’ magical run last season.

Just over five months since they last met during last year’s Eastern Conference Finals, the Milwaukee Bucks will kick off their season series with the Toronto Raptors Saturday night at Fiserv Forum.

The Bucks will be on the tail end of a back-to-back after defeating the Orlando Magic Friday night, making for one of their stranger back-to-back sets throughout their 2019-20 campaign.

In light of how their season came to an end at the hands of the reigning NBA champions, this clash and all future ones between the Bucks and the Raptors will have a little more spice between the two parties and fanbases.

The Raptors, meanwhile, enter the proceedings carrying a 4-1 record, with their lone loss of their season so far coming to the Boston Celtics in a 112-106 defeat.

And as we’ll get into shortly, Toronto hasn’t fallen back in the Eastern Conference by any means, at least to start the season, and have shown glimpses of why they will still be a tough go in spite of losing the centerpiece to their title run last season.

So without further ado, let’s dig into what to watch for in the Bucks’ rematch against the Toronto Raptors ahead of Saturday night’s tip-off.
