(My Sportsbook) - The Milwaukee Bucks kick off a three-game homestand Monday by welcoming the Toronto Raptors to Bradley Center. The Bucks lost the back end of a home-and-home set with Charlotte Saturday when Gerald Wallace scored a game-high 24 points to lead the Bobcats in a 102-92 victory over Milwaukee. Richard Jefferson tallied 19 points for the Bucks, who routed Charlotte on Friday by a 103-75 score and have alternated wins and losses for the last six games. Michael Redd added 17 points and five helpers. Milwaukee, which has won six of seven at home and is a solid 9-5 at Bradley Center, will also face Philadelphia and New Jersey on its residency. The Raptors, meanwhile, closed their own three-game homestand in impressive fashion Sunday when Chris Bosh finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds, leading Toronto to a 108-102 win over the talented Orlando Magic at Air Canada Centre. Anthony Parker scored a team-best 26 points and Andrea Bargnani added 18 for the Raptors, who salvaged the final two games of the stand to post a 2-1 mark during the residency. Roko Ukic contributed 12 points and seven assists off the bench. The Raptors will be seeking a third consecutive win for the first time since starting the season 3-0. Toronto, which is 7-11 on the road this season, has won three straight over the Bucks including a 91-87 triumph at the Bradley Center on November 1.
