Recap | Boxscore

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Bucks can clinch home-court advantage in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs if they win their regular-season finale Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors.

Milwaukee has dropped its last two contests following a four-game winning streak. To clinch home-court advantage in the first round, the Bucks need only a win over Toronto or a loss by the Miami Heat against the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday. However, the Bucks can also slip into the sixth playoff spot with a loss.

Desmond Mason scored 25 points, but had just four on 1-of-9 shooting in the second half in Milwaukee's 93-89 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. Michael Redd, an Ohio native who played at Ohio State, finished with just 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting. He had averaged 21.5 points over his previous six games.

The Raptors, who will miss the playoffs for a second straight season, had lost 10 of their previous 11 contests before beating Detroit on Tuesday in their home finale, 87-78.

Donyell Marshall collected 27 points and 16 rebounds and Vince Carter scored 19 points for the Raptors, who limited the Pistons to 39 percent shooting.

The Bucks are trying to sweep the Raptors for a second time in three years. They posted a 98-86 victory here on January 23.
