Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors preview

Both teams enter Friday’s contest after impressive season-opening performances.

The Bucks rolled past the Washington Wizards 133-120 in their first game, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 37 points and 14 rebounds. Six other Bucks scored in double figures, and the team knocked down 18 three-pointers, with the starters accounting for 13 of them.

However, Milwaukee will be shorthanded Friday as Kevin Porter Jr. is sidelined with a left ankle sprain after scoring 10 points with two assists and two 3s in the opener.

The Raptors, meanwhile, looked sharp in their debut with new addition Brandon Ingram, dominating the Atlanta Hawks 138-118. Toronto’s balanced attack featured seven double-figure scorers, including three with at least 20 points.

RJ Barrett led with 25, Scottie Barnes added 22, and Gradey Dick came off the bench for 21. Ingram scored 16, Jakob Poeltl had 14, Immanuel Quickley added 13, and Jamal Shead chipped in 10.

The Raptors shot 56.8% overall despite hitting only six of 25 from 3-point range.

This matchup should be a showcase of shot-making, with both teams displaying offensive rhythm in different ways during their openers.
