The youthful Bucks travel to Toronto seeking revenge for the defeat the Raptors laid on them in their building last month.
Milwaukee has a team which has hovered around .500 for several years. They were supposed to turn the corner last season, but instead made a U-turn and badly missed the playoffs after going 41-41 (see?) the year before.
I sense a new-found maturity with these Bucks. They have made the needed adjustments since losing shooting guard Khris Middleton to injury, and I expect them to be battling for the eighth seed all year.

I may pull that prediction in a hurry if a certain Greek Freak hurts himself. Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks in points, rebounds, and assists, plus the unofficial category of highlight reel dunks.
Jabari Parker has seen a significant spike in his scoring this season, a development viewed with great relief by the Bucks, who used the #2 pick on him in 2014. He’s 21 and averaging 19 points PG, so the sky may be the limit for this fellow.

Conclusion & Final Score
The Bucks are going to be formidable in perhaps 2 more seasons. In the meantime, their lack of a frontcourt anchor will make them a pesky team, rather than a truly dangerous one.
