Giannis' Status in Question as Raptors Host Bucks, Poeltl a Game-Time Call

Back-to-back fatigue plus Toronto's center question shape expectations.

Overview

  • Jakob Poeltl practiced fully, was upgraded to questionable, and remains a game-time decision for Toronto after a recent back injury.
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo was not listed on Milwaukee’s latest injury report, yet his managed knee and the back-to-back have generated mixed pregame expectations about his availability.
  • The Bucks arrive off a 117–115 win in Indiana in which Antetokounmpo played 32 minutes and hit the game-winner at the buzzer.
  • Milwaukee guard Kevin Porter Jr. is out with a knee injury that requires a procedure and is expected to sideline him for several weeks.
  • Tip-off is 7:30 p.m. ET at Scotiabank Arena on TSN and FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin, with sportsbooks making Toronto roughly a 4.5-point favorite and totals near 236.
