TORONTO -- The Milwaukee Bucks start a stretch of games Friday night that will give them a better idea of how good they are.
The Bucks (32-25) are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference and their first game after the NBA All-Star Game break will be at the Air Canada Centre against the Toronto Raptors (41-16), who lead the Eastern Conference and are on a seven-game winning streak.
The Bucks' first eight games after the break are against teams that are in playoff contention. This follows a relatively easy stretch in the schedule.
