Best-of-seven series tied 2-2 AIR CANADA CENTRE TIPOFF: Monday, 7 p.m. TV: TSN RADIO: TSN 1050
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.
