Bucks at Raptors 5/19/19 - NBA Playoffs Picks & Predictions

The Eastern Conference Finals will shift to Scotiabank Arena for Game Three between the Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors on Sunday night. The Bucks won a league best 60 games during the regular season and held serve through the first two games at home. On Friday, Milwaukee raced out to a 14-point lead after one quarter and cruised to a 125-103 home victory. The Bucks outrebounded the Raptors by a 64-50 margin and shot 47 percent from the field.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led six Milwaukee players in double figures with 30 points and 17 rebounds. Malcolm Brogdon chipped in 14 points and five assists in 25 minutes off the bench. The Toronto Raptors won 32 of their 41 home games during the regular season and will need to figure things out in a hurry to claw their way back into this best-of-seven series. In Game Two, Toronto trailed by 25 points at halftime and shot just 43 percent overall. The Raptors turned the ball over 14 times and missed 22 of their 32 three-point attempts.

Toronto F Kawhi Leonard led all scorers with 31 points on 10-for-18 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds. The rest of the starters combined to score 33 points on a woeful 11-for-37 effort from the floor.

Toronto F OG Anunoby (appendectomy) did some light on-court work Tuesday and is unlikely to play in this series. These are the top two ranked teams in defensive efficiency this postseason. Look for Toronto to dig in defensively after being embarrassed in Game Two and keep this game under the total. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Raptors win in under game 107-105.
