The Toronto Raptors will face a former assistant coach Wednesday night when they try to end a three-game losing streak in their meeting with the visiting Milwaukee Bucks.
New Bucks coach Adrian Griffin was an assistant to Nick Nurse with Toronto for five years through the end of last season.
Nurse is the new coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, who posted a 114-107 win over the Raptors on Saturday night in Toronto.
The Raptors have not won under new coach Darko Rajakovic since taking their season opener last Wednesday.
Both teams played Monday night, with Toronto losing 99-91 to the visiting Portland Trail Blazers and Milwaukee recording a 122-114 win at home over the Miami Heat.
The Heat upset the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs last season, leading to Griffin being hired after Milwaukee fired coach Mike Budenholzer.
The Bucks will be playing their first road game after winning two of three at home to start their season.
Portland closed out the game against Toronto on Monday with an 11-4 surge to win for the first time in four contests.
The Raptors shot 4-for-29 (13.8 percent) in 3-point attempts.
Scottie Barnes collected 20 points and 12 rebounds for Toronto. Pascal Siakam also had 20 points but was 0-for-6 in 3-point attempts.
In their game, the Bucks led by as many as 25 points at the start of the fourth quarter. The Heat cut their deficit to six points before Giannis Antetokounmpo made a three-point play with 1:16 to play. Antetokounmpo had 33 points and Damian Lillard added 25 for the Bucks.
