The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Toronto Raptors at home on Tuesday night with tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m. CT. This game will count towards the NBA Cup standings. This season, Toronto is 2-9 and Milwaukee is 2-8.
These are two of the worst teams in the NBA. It is not a surprise that the Raptors are toward the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but the Bucks being near the bottom is a surprise.
Milwaukee Bucks Projected Lineup Without Damian Lillard Against the Toronto Raptors
On Monday night, the Bucks Twitter page announced that Lillard will be out against the Raptors due to being in concussion protocol. He suffered it during the 113-107 loss against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. Damian Lillard this season has averaged 26.0 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 6.6 APG, 0.2 BPG, and 1.0 SPG. He has also shot 44.4% from the field, 34.8% from three-point land, and 90.9% from the free-throw line.
The projected starting lineup for the Bucks against the Raptors without Lillard and Khris Middleton in this game will be: Brook Lopez, Giannis Antetokounmpo (game-time decision), Tauren Prince, Andre Jackson Jr. (game-time decision), and A.J. Green. Head coach Doc Rivers has received heat from the fanbase this season about the lineups.
Darko Rajakovic is the head coach of the Toronto Raptors. The projected starting line for Toronto against Milwaukee on Tuesday night will be: Jakob Poeltl, R.J. Barrett, Ochai Agbaji, Gradey Dick, and Immanuel Quickley (game-time decision).

Ryan Rollins and AJ Johnson time baby.

Just trade Giannis already

The Bucks fanbase is not happy with Damian Lillard being out against the Toronto Raptors. One fan also claimed on social media that they should trade Lillard as well. It could happen if they continue to lose. His scoring will be missed against Toronto and others will need to step up. Losing on Tuesday night without him would probably break this fanbase.
