The Raptors are working through some struggles as we near the midway point of the season, owning a 3-7 record over their last 10 games. While Pascal Siakam is still enjoying an All-Star-worthy campaign, averaging 26.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.0 steals per game, the star forward hasn’t received much help.

Former All-Star guard Fred VanVleet returned from a two-game absence due to a back injury on Monday, but the ailment still appears to be bothering him as he went for nine points on 3-of-15 shooting from the field in 37 minutes of play.

As for the Bucks, one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference has also been on a skid as of late, dropping six of their last 10. Giannis Antetokounmpo has still been doing his part. He recently posted back-to-back 40-20 games and he’s coming off of a career-best 55-point performance in a win over the Wizards.

Will Antetokounmpo be available to suit up against the Raptors on the second night of a back-to-back?
