Bucks and Raptors Battle North of the Border
The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday night.

The Bucks (49-8) have been virtually unstoppable all season, so it's of little surprise they'll come into Tuesday's game having won eight of their last nine contests. Their most recent success came Monday night, when they edged a game Washington Wizards squad by a 137-134 score in overtime.
Khris Middleton led the Bucks with 40 points, complementing them with five rebounds, five assists and three steals. Eric Bledsoe generated a 23-point, 10-assist double-double that also included seven rebounds. Giannis Antetokounmpo posted 22 points, 14 rebounds, two assists and one block. George Hill delivered 14 points, two assists and one steal. Donte DiVincenzo turned in 12 points, 10 rebounds and two assists. Robin Lopez and Wesley Matthews supplied 11 and 10 points, respectively.

The Bucks will likely list both Kyle Korver and Brook Lopez as out with back injuries for Tuesday's game.

The Raptors (42-15) have arguably been even more impressive than their opponent since the calendar flipped to 2020, as Toronto comes into Tuesday's contest having won 17 of their last 18 contests. Their most recent victory was their most dominant of the campaign, as they decimated the Indiana Pacers by a 127-81 score Sunday evening. Pascal Siakam led the Raptors with 21 points, adding three assists, two rebounds and one block. Matt Thomas poured in 17 points. Kyle Lowry generated a 16-point, 11-assist double-double that also included seven rebounds and five steals. Serge Ibaka posted 15 points, 15 rebounds, one assist and one block. Terence Davis supplied 13 points, four rebounds, one assist and one block. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson registered 12 points, four boards and three assists.

The Raptors will be without Norman Powell (finger) and Marc Gasol (hamstring) for Tuesday's game. Patrick McCaw (illness) is likely to be listed as questionable at best.

Tuesday's game marks the second of four meetings between the teams this season. The Bucks hold a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 115-105 win Nov. 2.
