Milwaukee Bucks vs. Toronto Raptors
November 4, 2025 7:30 pm EDT
The NBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with an NBA regular season matchup featuring the Milwaukee Bucks and the Toronto Raptors. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Toronto Raptors game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.
Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules
You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.
*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.
Here are my Draftkings picks for tonight’s Bucks vs. Raptors matchup.
