Milwaukee Bucks vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Milwaukee Bucks should be favored at home as they’re playing their best ball of the season, and they have health on their side. The Orlando Magic are down their two best players in Banchero and Wagner, and it’s hard to overcome that. However, the Bucks are just 9-13-1 ATS, so excuse me if I’m not thrilled to lay big chalk. The Magic also remains a scrappy bunch that’s used to winning and did beat the Suns banged up. Even down their best players, the Magic compete and won’t go down quietly. Give me the points.
