Toronto Raptors

Who they should want to avoid in the first round: Milwaukee Bucks 

Honestly, I could’ve put pretty much any team in the playoff hunt here. But that’s not because the Raptors haven’t looked impressive this season. It’s because of their recent playoff history, where they struggle against anyone.

The Bucks have given the Raptors fits in the playoffs before, and when healthy have the talent to push any team. Giannis Antetokoumpo is the type of player that can’t be stopped and Milwaukee has the length to bother opponents.

The Bucks are equally as unpredictable, though.
