Will Giannis Antetokounmpo FACE OFF against Pascal Siakam? Injury Report for Bucks – Raptors

Milwaukee will play its final regular-season game on Sunday afternoon when it travels to Toronto.

The latest Injury Update for Milwaukee Bucks vs. Toronto Raptors

Prior to Friday’s loss to Memphis, the Bucks had won three straight games, but they had already clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Toronto has been seeded ninth in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament and will face Chicago on Wednesday night.

The Bucks Report

Milwaukee hasn’t lost consecutive games since the middle of January, and it’ll try to keep that run alive on Sunday.

Before falling to Memphis on Friday, the Bucks had won five of their previous six games.

They clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference with a 105-92 win over Chicago on Wednesday, covering the 5.5-point spread thanks to Bobby Portis’ game-high 27 points and 13 rebounds.

They were missing Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton early in the game due to injuries, but they went on a 15-0 run in the third quarter to overcome a 10-point deficit.

After posting a triple-double against Washington earlier in the week, Antetokounmpo was ruled out before the game due to right knee pain.

He is labeled as questionable for this game, but it would be shocking if he played.

Antetokounmpo (knee) will miss the Raptors’ regular-season finale on Sunday.

With the playoffs just on the corner, Antetokounmpo joins a slew of Bucks who will sit and relax.

Expect the team’s depth players to play larger roles in the game, while Giannis and the rest of the starting lineup will try to make a comeback for their first-round encounter.

Middleton, Brook Lopez, and Jrue Holiday are all listed as game-time decisions for this game.

Milwaukee has nothing to play for, thus the coaching staff will most likely rest some key players.

The Bucks are sixth in the NBA in scoring (117.1) and face a No. 5 defense in Toronto (111.5).

Let’s take a look at the Bucks’ injured list before Sunday’s game.

The Raptors Report

On Sunday afternoon, Toronto is in a similar scenario because it has nothing to play for.

During this week, the Raptors won back-to-back games in Charlotte before losing straight road games in Boston.

They still had a chance to climb the standings coming into Friday night’s game against the Celtics, but they’ve now been assigned the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference play-in round.

On Wednesday, Toronto will host No. 10 seed Chicago. The Raptors were paced by power forward Pascal Siakam, who scored 19 points on 8 of 15 shooting against Boston, and point guard Fred VanVleet, who had 12 points and eight assists.

Precious Achiuwa scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds off the bench, shooting 6 of 10 from the field.

As of Saturday afternoon, no information had been revealed on Toronto’s plans to rest players on Sunday (when this story was published).

Siakam leads the Raptors in scoring with 24.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, while VanVleet has 19.3 points per game.

Before betting on this game, bettors should keep an eye on Toronto’s decisions.

Due to rest, Siakam will miss Sunday’s game against the Bucks.

The Raptors will rest some of its players, thus Siakam will miss the season finale in order to be at full strength for the Play-In game against the Bulls on Wednesday. Siakam finishes the 2022-23 regular season with a career-high 24.2 points per game, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game.

The Raptors are ranked No. 23 in the NBA in scoring (112.8) and face a No. 14 defense in Milwaukee (113.2).
