The Toronto Raptors host the Milwaukee Bucks tonight for Game 2 of the first round series. Tonight’s game tips off at 7 p.m. Eastern on NBA TV.

Here’s the details for tonight’s game.


Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2017

Time: 7 p.m. Eastern

Location: Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Canada

TV Channel: NBA TV

Odds: Raptors by 8

Race Preview: The Raptors look to even the series and avoid going down 0-2 heading to Milwaukee in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Giannis Antetokounmpo led a young No. 6 Bucks team to upset the No. 3 Raptors in the opening game of the series.

Antektokounmpo had 28 points, eight rebounds and two steals to lead the way for Milwaukee. Toronto received stellar play from Serge Ibaka who had 19 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks. Unfortunately, Kyle Lowry struggled scoring just 4 points while going 0-6 from the three-point line and 2-11 from the field. The Raptors will need Lowry to perform better in tonight’s game to hold off a Bucks team that will be going for the kill tonight.

While going down 0-2 is not insurmountable, it would put the Raptors at a distinct disadvantage with the series heading to Milwaukee. The Bucks controlled the second half of Game 1 and defeated the Raptors by 14 points. Toronto won three of four games against the Bucks during the regular season but have now lost the last two matchups against Milwaukee.

The game will be carried on NBA TV. TNT also has a double-header tonight with the Bulls-Celtics series at 8 p.m. Eastern followed by the Jazz-Clippers at 10:30 p.m. Eastern.
