Who's in and who's out for Bucks vs Raptors? Read on to know.
The Milwaukee Bucks are set to welcome the Toronto Raptors for an NBA 2025-26 regular-season clash on Thursday, December 18. This will be their third meeting of the season, with the previous two, won by each of them once. In the upcoming game, both teams would want to extend their dominance over each other, and aim to level the tally.
The hosts will enter the game on the back of a blowout loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The defeat, their fourth in the last six games, dropped their seasonal tally to 11-16 in the season. The Raptors, on the flip side, are coming off a solid victory against the Miami Heat. With the win, Toronto put an end to its four-game losing skid, and improved tally to 16-11.
In the upcoming game, the Bucks would aim to rebound from their recent setback and hope for consistency. The Raptors, on the other hand, wouldn’t want to get off the track after securing their first win in five games. A tight contest is on the cards!
