Bucks eliminated from playoffs after falling to Raptors in Game 6

Other than a poor Game 5, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been stellar against the Raptors, averaging 23.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.6 blocks while shooting 52.8 percent from the field. If Milwaukee wins Thursday, Game 7 in Toronto would be Saturday.

Milwaukee is 2-5 ATS in its last seven games at home. Now, with their playoff life on the line, they’re going to change?

We’ll have up-to-the-minute scoring and stats here throughout the game.

Yet the Raptors didn’t just earn a second-round matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers in a clutch Game 6 win over the Bucks. Toronto also made a big impact on the National Basketball Association title picture – because believe it or not, the Raps’ victory is also a win for the Golden State Warriors.

Thursday night’s Milwaukee Bucks game is a live-or-die match-up against the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the playoff series.

“And that’s a trick of the trade if you haven’t gone through that, you don’t know it until you face it”. Game 3 is at 7 p.m. Friday in Toronto, where the teams will play Game 4 at 3:30 p.m. Dates and times for games 5, 6, and 7 will be announced at a later date.

Here are some things that can not happen tonight if the Bucks hope to force a Game 7: Giannis can not score under 20 points.

The Cavs and Raptors finished with 51-31 records this season, but Cleveland was the No. 2 seed (and Toronto, the 3 seed) because the Cavs won the season series, 3-1.

Norm Powell led the Raptors with a team-high 25 points in his first start of the series, while power forward Serge Ibaka was dominant at both ends of the court, finishing with 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting, while adding six rebounds and three blocked shots. Monroe was key to the Bucks game one win but has had a negative plus/minus in all three losses.

Middleton managed to play through the illness on Monday, and with the Bucks down 3-2 and playing for their playoff lives on Thursday, he can be fully expected to suit up for Game 6.

INJURY UPDATE: Khris Middleton missed practice Wednesday with a bug that has been bothering the Bucks’ second-leading scorer all week.

Who: San Antonio Spurs vs.

Now take a look at Milwaukee’s last two performances, where they lost by a combined 36 points and failed to put up over 100 points in either game. But they didn’t take the easiest path in getting there. The Bucks offense was not very successful outside of the Giannis drives in the first half, making just 3-of-17 outside of the paint in the first 24 minutes. Memphis needs that trend to continue to have a chance at ending its own nine-game road skid that goes back to March 16 and a win at Atlanta.
