The thinking with the Under here is the Bucks have also been inconsistent and are dealing with a short bench on a back-to-back. Generally, I tend to think of the Raptors as an Under team with their usually lock-down defense and a half-court offense that is shaky at the best of times. That said, Giannis and four rodeo clowns might have a shot against this [Raptors](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/teams/main/toronto-raptors) team with the way they are currently playing, and this line is giving them too much respect. And with that short bench, Milwaukee's defense will also take a hit. Toronto allowed the Pacers to shoot nearly 50% from the floor for the game and only created five steals — meaning the effort on defense still isn’t where it needs to be. I’m banking on him making it eight of nine against a Milwaukee side that could show some fatigue in the second half of a back-to-back with a short bench. This is a team known for its high IQ and high-intensity defense, and when that’s not working, everything falls apart. And with the players they are down, they’ll be short on guys to defend him. And as I said, this is still too much respect for Toronto, even if Giannis is by himself. The All-NBA forward has been rock solid for a team struggling to find their identity. So, what will he have in store for an encore when the Milwaukee Bucks visit the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night? So, what’s a Toronto bettor to do?

He scored Milwaukee’s first seven points of the fourth quarter and assisted on the next five to help the Bucks build a 21-point lead.

He was 4 for 7 from behind the three-point line for 12 first half points and it was an important performance, as the Bucks made just 10 additional shots and scored 27 additional points. And although his three-game streak of scoring at least 40 points came to end, his first career 30-20-10 triple-double is only the seventh of its kind in the last 40 years. Toronto’s Pascal Siakam pushed Bobby Portis out of bounds in front of the Bucks bench to force a turnover, and then Trent Jr. “Couple of turnovers trying to inbound the ball against the press," Budenholzer said.

Raptors Nearly Pull off Miracle Comeback Despite Dreadful ... (Sports Illustrated)

The Toronto Raptors nearly pulled off a 21-point fourth-quarter comeback but a dreadful shooting night was too much against the Milwaukee Bucks.

A dunk over Lopez sparked the turnaround as he began attacking again, using the space Milwaukee was giving him as a runway to get into the paint and finish. "It gets a little contagious," Nurse said of the misses. He had zero points through three quarters, confounded by Milwaukee's drop coverage with Lopez and unsure of how to attack the Bucks with so much space. Green for an open three-pointer when the Raptors doubled the Bucks star out of a pick-and-pop and later when he found Pat Connaughton when Anunoby rotated over to help VanVleet in defense. VanVleet did his best to keep the Raptors close. He nailed a tough pull-up three in transition just ahead of a trailing Antetokounmpo and tried to keep the Raptors going with his speed in transition. Despite a 2-for-23 first quarter and 13-for-50 shooting in the first half that included just two made three-pointers, the Raptors' defense wouldn't let Milwaukee get too far away. At one point, Toronto's confidence looked so shaken that Trent passed out of an open three-pointer, feeding Pascal Siakam before the Raptors eventually coughed up the ball on a miss-timed pass. “It’s at the top, for sure," VanVleet said of his weirdest all-time games. VanVleet's last-chance three, a tough step-back over Bobby Portis hit the front rim and fell out as the Raptors fell 104-101 Wednesday night. Up 21 points on the Toronto Raptors with less than four minutes to go. A hard drive to the rim by Antetokounmpo drew a crowd before a kick-out pass to Grayson Allen for three proved decisive.
