Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Raptors recently interrupted a series of defeats, which eventually reached 11 consecutive matches. At home, the team confidently coped with Brooklyn - 130:113. After this landmark victory, the Canadians managed to play one more game and, quite possibly, start a new series of failures. At home, Toronto lost to Orlando, not even scoring a hundred points - 97:106.

In total, the Raptors have only 8 wins in 35 games since the start of the championship. In the Eastern Conference standings, Toronto is ahead of only Charlotte and Washington, 8.0 wins behind the play-in zone, and it is clear that it is no longer solving the tournament problems.

The Bucks, after winning the NBA Cup and then securing a foothold in the Eastern Conference playoff zone, have further lost momentum. In the last five games, Doc Rivers' team has only one win - away against Indiana (120:112). Milwaukee lost to the strongest opponents in this stretch - twice at home to Brooklyn (105:111 and 110:113), at home to Portland (102:105) and away to Chicago (111:116).

At the same time, in general, the Bucks today can afford to lose. The team from Wisconsin is in a fairly comfortable tournament situation - fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a positive balance of 17-16 wins.

After a series of failures, Milwaukee will certainly not miss the opportunity to beat one of the main outsiders of the championship even on his court. The Raptors far from accidentally lost 12 of the last 13 matches and are unlikely to be able to stop the additionally motivated the Bucks. We bet here on the victory of Doc Rivers' team in a productive game - Toronto has the fifth from the bottom of the defense this season.
