Toronto Raptors (3) vs. Milwaukee Bucks (6) – Leave The Bar Early To Catch The Second Half 

Any series with a guy who can do this is going to be worth watching. Addition by subtraction can be a real thing in the NBA, and just as the Minnesota Timberwolves have improved since losing Zach Lavine, the Bucks have played better without the defensive sieve that was Jabari Parker.

Khris Middleton has been one of the NBA’s best kept secrets. Matthew Dellavedova and Jason Terry bring critical playoff experience to this young team.

Unfortunately for Milwaukee, their opponents have played the league’s third best defense since the NBA All-Star break, and have the ideal roster for defending the Bucks’ best players.

Will this be Giannis Antetokounmpo’s breakout moment?
