Milwaukee Bucks vs. Toronto Raptors Preview and Predictions 05-25-2019 in NBA

The Toronto Raptors look to advance to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history when they host the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday. The Raptors have won the past three contests, including a 105-99 road win on Thursday that enabled them to take a 3-2 series lead.

Star small forward Kawhi Leonard poured in 35 points for his fourth 30-point outing of the series and has provided Toronto with the big-time performances the club was looking for when it acquired him from the San Antonio Spurs. "I'm not afraid of the moment," Leonard told reporters afterward. "This is what I work out for in the summer. I'm just trying to win. It's a matter of me being aggressive and don't shy away from anything." Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo had 24 points in the untimely defeat but he was adamant that his team will still win the series. "We're not going to fold," Antetokounmpo said afterward. "Come on, man. Best team in the league, man. We're not going to fold. We're going to go in and give it everything we've got. We can't fold. We're going to come back to Milwaukee."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, TNT, Sportsnet One (Toronto)

ABOUT THE BUCKS: Milwaukee won a league-best 60 games in the regular season, which is why Antetokounmpo and others are bullish that the club's resiliency will ensure that a fourth loss doesn't occur. "I mean, if we don't have it now, our season is done," guard Malcolm Brogdon told reporters. "We've been resilient all year, and we're going to rely on each other and lean on each other as we've done all year, and go out and compete as hard as we can." Brogdon had 18 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in Game 5 while point guard Eric Bledsoe scored a series-best 20.

ABOUT THE RAPTORS: Backup point guard Fred VanVleet scored 21 points on seven 3-pointers in the Game 5 victory and is 10-for-12 from long range over the last two games after being 2-for-11 over the first three games. "Feels like I'm getting more better looks, more open looks, and as you make them, your teammates start to look for you more and more and the game kind of opens up all at once," VanVleet said after Game 5. "Just staying confident, staying in there ready to knock them down when I get the opportunity, and just staying locked in." Starting point guard Kyle Lowry was just 4-of-11 shooting but scored 17 points and is averaging 19.6 in the series.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Leonard made five 3-pointers in Game 5 for the third time this postseason.

2. Milwaukee SF Khris Middleton had just six points on 2-of-9 shooting in Game 5 after scoring 30 on 11-of-15 shooting in Game 4.

3. Toronto PF Pascal Siakam had his second double-double of the series in Game 5 (14 points, 13 rebounds) and is averaging 13.8 points and seven boards.

PREDICTION: Bucks 115, Raptors 109

# 2 NEBRASKA CHROME 2/1

# 1 RIVER QUEST 10/1

# 5 MILITARY STRIKE 5/2

NEBRASKA CHROME has a solid shot to take this race. Should come out very strong - I have liked the way this gelding has moved sharply to the lead recently. Have to wager on this gelding with the reliable earnings per start in dirt sprint contests. Last time out, this gelding was up against a rougher bunch. RIVER QUEST - Will more than likely be one of the leaders of the pack going into the midpoint of the contest. Dieter is trying to score with this one by bringing her back so soon. MILITARY STRIKE - Should wake up with Lasix change (with second time Lasix) today. Must be carefully examined as he drops to compete against this softer bunch.

#5 ELVIS THE CAT (ML=9/2)
#2 NEPAL UP (ML=3/1)
#9 PRESSONREGARDLESS (ML=15/1)


ELVIS THE CAT - This trainer brings horses to the grass in shape and ready to win, winning over 20 pct of the time under similar conditions. This animal earns a lot of dough per race. Utmost in this affair. This race horse has to be one of the key horses in your betting. His trainer Drury excels in prepping horses to race on turf from the dirt. NEPAL UP - A definite class advantage goes to this horse. An indication he will be very competitive in this grass race. PRESSONREGARDLESS - I sense a speed duel developing here. If that happens, this gelding will be in perfect stalking position to gather up the leaders. Dropped down in class last time out, and keeps in that lower class in today's race. A good sign this equine is comfortable and ready to go.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 VENKMAN (ML=4/1), #1A NEW PRINCE (ML=5/1), #1 GOOD AS MONEY (ML=5/1),

VENKMAN - This steed didn't race too well last time out finishing fourth. Don't see any chance of a reversal of fortune in today's race. NEW PRINCE - Doesn't appear to be in a satisfactory spot today. GOOD AS MONEY - I'd like to see more conducive recent showings with morning line odds of 5/1. Will be tough for this racer to beat this field off of that last speed figure. Improbable to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's Equibase class figure, so put him on the likely underpriced equines list.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - PRESSONREGARDLESS - Consider this. Finished fourth in the slop last time out. With better footing today, I'd expect a 30 pct improvement in ability.

# 12 ONE CRUISIN CORONA 4/1

# 3 JM TEXAS IVORY 15/1

# 8 POTTAWATTAMIE SQUAW 20/1

I think ONE CRUISIN CORONA is a very good choice. Put up a formidable speed figure last time out. Has very strong Equibase Class Figures relative to this field - worth a look. Has strong Speed Figures and has to be considered for a wager here. JM TEXAS IVORY - She should have a good outing versus this less demanding field. This racer could stun this field of horses at a nice number. POTTAWATTAMIE SQUAW - Has run very well when moving a short race. This filly obviously likes the distance, going 2 out of 9 in her races as of late.

#6 WISCONSIN (ML=5/2)
#9 QUEEN OF MUSKOKA (ML=3/1)


WISCONSIN - The March 20th affair at Fair Grounds was at a class level of (69). Dropping to a lower class rank considerably, so she should be in a good position. This filly recorded a good speed figure of 55 in her last affair. That speed fig should be lofty enough to score this time out. Lasix can take some getting used to, especially for a filly. They usually hit stride the second time using it, like we have with this horse. QUEEN OF MUSKOKA - This entrant could be tough this race, especially since Correa rode last time out and now should be plenty familiar with this one. Took a big class drop last out, and I think she may have needed it. Doran enters her at a similar class today. I'd expect an improved performance. Last time around the track, finished fourth on a track listed as good at Laurel. Has to do better in this event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 IAM A DANCER (ML=7/2), #4 SHALL WE DANCE (ML=9/2),

IAM A DANCER - Tough to keep chasing this kind of 'bridesmaid' horse. SHALL WE DANCE - Doesn't look inspiring to me after the lack of any type of closing ability on May 3rd.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Turf Man - WISCONSIN - Moving to dirt today, from last race on the grass at Fair Grounds. This racer has a good chance to pickup her first win against these thoroughbreds.
