MIL vs TOR Dream 11: Can the Bucks gain revenge against the Raptors?
The Milwaukee Bucks face the Toronto Raptors in a tasty Eastern Conference tie which is a repeat of the Conference finals from the previous campaign.
The Raptors came out on top of that series before winning the NBA title, but they are without Kawhi Leonard, who joined the LA Clippers.
The Bucks still have Giannis firing on all cylinders and it will be interesting to see how the Raptors fare this time around.
Toronto are 4-1 after a decent start to the season while the Bucks are 3-2 and recently defeated the Orlando Magic.
