PROBABLE STARTERS

Milwaukee: Malcolm Brodgon, Tony Snell, Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokoun­mpo, Thon Maker. Toronto: Kyle Lowry, Norm Powell, DeMar DeRozan, DeMarre Carroll, Serge Ibaka.

KEY MATCHUP

Middleton vs. Powell The newly-minted Toronto starter Norm Powell did an effective job shutting down Khris Middleton in Game 4, limiting the Bucks guard to 10 points after back-to-back 20s. And without a consistent second scorer, the Bucks’ offence sputtered. A repeat performanc­e would be great for Toronto.

NEED TO KNOW

This is the fourth straight playoff series for the Raptors that will go at least six games . . . DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors in points, rebounds, assists and steals in Game 4, the first time in 34 playoff games that he has done that . . . Milwaukee’s Tony Snell made a career playoff-high five threepoint­ers in Game 4 . . . Jonas Valanciuna­s had 12 points off the bench on Saturday and was the only Raptors backup to score.
