The Bucks will take on conference opponent Toronto. Thursday's game is the third meeting this season between the two teams. The Raptors won the last matchup 128-100.
Milwaukee were humiliated on Sunday on the Nets' court, 45-point winners, whilst behind the scenes the Giannis Antetokounmpo case has not been settled.

If the Bucks entertained an offer from the Raptors, they would likely ask for Barnes first.
