Toronto (26-43) at Milwaukee (34-35) 3:30 pm EST
MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- With a tough schedule ahead, the Milwaukee
Bucks have to take advantage of all their opportunities.
One of those chances presents itself Sunday when the Bucks host
the Toronto Raptors.
Milwaukee enters in seventh place in the Eastern Conference
standings, a game behind Indiana and 1 1/2 up on Philadelphia.
However, a postseason berth is not assured as the Bucks play
nine of their last 13 games against teams with winning records.
Also, Milwaukee does not have much momentum entering a two-game
homestand after dropping the final two legs of a three-game road
trip. Michael Redd scored 20 points in a 101-96 loss to the
Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.
One of the few losing teams left on the Bucks' slate is the
Raptors, who are coming off a 97-77 rout of Minnesota on Friday.
Morris Peterson led four players in double figures with 21
points and Chris Bosh had 17 and 15 rebounds, leading Toronto to
a 53-34 advantage on the boards.
The teams have split the first two meetings this season with the
Raptors claiming a 97-96 win at home on March 17. Milwaukee
held a 16-point lead with less than six minutes remaining before
collapsing down the stretch.
