Prediction
Both teams are top class and are favourites for the championship this season.
The Raptors will be without Powell and Gasol at this stage but there is a ton of depth in their rotation. However, Antetokounmpo is in top form and that will be a challenge for the Raptors. Therefore, I will go with the Bucks to win this one a tight contest.
