NBA Playoffs 2017: Raptors vs. Bucks Game 1 live stream: Watch online

The No. 3 seed Toronto Raptors (51-31) play host to the No. 6 seed Milwaukee Bucks (42-40) for the opening game of their first-round series on Saturday night. It marks their inaugural postseason meeting. Here is how to watch Game 1 online.

The 2016-17 NBA playoffs are officially commencing, with half of the matchups launching on Saturday, April 15. The second game on the slate is between Eastern Conference adversaries, Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks.

This is the Toronto’s fourth-straight postseason appearance. Don’t be fooled by their drop in wins and playoff seed from last year, the 2016-17 Raptors are an improved unit. Toronto boasts the league’s fourth-best net rating, up from their ranking of sixth a year ago.

The Raptors come into the playoffs winners of four straight and eight in their last ten. Toronto took the season series against Milwaukee, 3-1. The Raptors projected starters are Kyle Lowry, DeMar Derozan, DeMarre Carroll, Serge Ibaka, and Jonas Valanciunas.

Back in the playoffs after getting ousted by the Bulls in the first round two seasons ago, the Bucks are a team on the upswing. They are nine wins better than their 2015-16 version and are led by burgeoning superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks will most likely start Malcolm Brogdon, Tony Snell, Khris Middleton, Antetokounmpo, and Thon Maker.
