Toronto Raptors vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction: Will the Bucks' balance be even better?

Milwaukee won two out of three games in the new championship. After the meeting with Toronto, will the Bucks' balance be even better? Let's find out and pick up several options for betting.

Raptors entered the championship with a new head coach - Serbian Darko Rajaković, and so far, the update on the team's results has been affected negatively. After a 97:94 win over Minnesota, Toronto has lost three straight - to Chicago (103:104 (93:93) in overtime), Philadelphia (107:114), and even Portland (91:99).

Today, Toronto can hardly be considered a contender to solve serious problems. The team's roster cannot be called well-balanced - the team does not score much, putting Dennis Schröder as the main player. In addition, there are doubts about whether Rajaković's style fits the available personnel resources.

The Bucks are also among the teams that went for drastic changes in the offseason. Now Milwaukee will be led to new victories by the star duo of Giannis Antetokoumpo and Damian Lillard, as well as new coach Adrian Griffin, former assistant to Nick Nurse in Toronto.

In the first game, the renewed roster proved great, breaking the resistance of a very tough Philadelphia (118:117). Lillard scored 39 points. In the second game, the Bucks rookie failed, scoring only 6 points, and his team lost to Atlanta (110:127). In the third game, Lillard shined again, scoring 25, resulting in a victory over Miami - 122:114. In general, it turns out that the team's results depend on how Lillard plays. It doesn't matter at all how Giannis performs.

Toronto picked up a few points at the start of the championship. However, the Bucks, after the trade of Jrue Holiday, still have an incomplete defense, the weaknesses of which are generally shown by all teams that met with Milwaukee at the beginning of the championship. Perhaps the Raptors can improve their offensive statistics. At the same time, the team is also unlikely to be able to contain the Bucks' offense - Milwaukee has no problems playing in the other half of the court. We bet on TO, and also on the Bucks, who, at the moment, look simply stronger than the Raptors.
