NBA Playoffs 2019: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Toronto Raptors Game 1 live stream: Watch online
By Ian Levy
The Milwaukee Bucks and the Toronto Raptors matchup in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Here’s everything you need to know to watch.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard have been the two most impactful players in these playoffs and now we’ll get a chance to watch them match up in the Eastern Conference Finals. Through nine games, Giannis has averaged 27.4 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, shooting 52.6 percent from the field. He’s been a one-man wrecking ball, averaging 15.1 points in the paint per game and adding another 3.6 off turnovers. Whether it’s driving in the halfcourt or pushing in transition, no one has been able to consistently keep him away from the basket.
On the other side of the court will be Kawhi Leonard, who’s averaging 31.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, shooting 53.9 percent from the field. He’s been unstoppable scoring in isolation and out of the pick-and-roll maintaining an absurd level of efficiency given the load that he’s carrying.
Unfortunately, having Khris Middleton and Pascal Siakam means that they probably won’t spend much time directly defending each other but these two stars will absolutely define the series. Of course, if they both play up to their potential, the outcome will likely be determined by which supporting cast can step up and deliver. In particular, the point guard matchup between Kyle Lowry and Eric Bledsoe will be key.
