Milwaukee Bucks will battle it out with Toronto Raptors in the
National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 18 January.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 108th meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in 1995 when the Raptors were established.
The Bucks have the upper hand in this rivalry having recorded 60 wins compared to the Raptors' 47 victories from 107 matches.
Most recent meeting
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Toronto Raptors 128-104 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 7 January.
The Milwaukee Bucks moved to 18-16, while the Toronto Raptors fell to 8-28.
Key Players
The Raptors will be wary of Giannis Antetokounmpo who is often recognized as one of the best all-around players in the NBA, and many analysts have declared him "positionless" and as embodying the future of the league.
While Bruce Brown could be the player to inspire the Raptors to a win over the Bucks having hit two free throws to make it a two-possession game with less than 30 seconds remaining as the Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat 94-89 to win the 2023 NBA championship.
Quotes
"We've gotta get our stuff together. It's as simple as that," Antetokounmpo said after the Bucks were defeated by the New York Knicks on 12 January.
"We did not beat Boston. We did not beat the Cavs. We didn't beat the Knicks. Those are the top three teams, and we've played horribly against them."
