Milwaukee Bucks vs Orlando Magic Prediction 4-10-24 Picks

The Orlando Magic and Milwaukee Bucks meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Fiserv Forum. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Magic vs Bucks prediction.

Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic have been in pretty good shape as they’ve won four of their last six games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after getting thrashed by the Rockets in a 118-106 road loss last night. Jalen Suggs and Paolo Banchero led the team in scoring with 21 points each, Markelle Fultz added 18 points while Moritz Wagner chipped in with 12 points off the bench. As a team, the Magic shot 45 percent from the field and seven of 24 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace from the start, allowing the Rockets to pour in 36 points in the first quarter to fall behind by as many as 19 points before they made a late run to keep the final scores respectable.

Milwaukee Bucks

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in poor form as they’ve lost six of their last eight games overall but they will be feeling a little better after putting a halt to a four-game skid with a 104-91 home win over the red-hot Celtics last night. Patrick Beverley led the team with 20 points, 10 rebounds and three assists, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez each scored 15 points while Khris Middleton chipped in with 12 points and nine assists. As a team, the Bucks shot 53 percent from the field and 17 of 36 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 37 points in the first quarter to jump out to a 24-point lead which was more than enough to hold off a late charge from the Celtics in the second half. The Bucks will take on the Thunder after this one.

Milwaukee Bucks Team Facts

• The Bucks have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games as home underdogs on the second leg of a back-to-back.
• Each of the Bucks’ last four games as underdogs against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back have gone UNDER the total points line.

Orlando Magic Team Facts

• The Magic have lost each of their last eight road games against Central Division opponents after losing as favorites.
• The Magic have covered the spread in 10 of their last 11 games as favorites following a road loss.
• Each of the Magic’s last four road games against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total points line.

Magic vs Bucks prediction

The Magic are still shorthanded with Franz Wagner still out, while the Bucks are still missing Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Magic come into this one as the team in better shape, but they certainly didn’t look too good in last night’s ugly loss to the Rockets. The Bucks have been well below their best lately, but they took down the Celtics last night and could easily win even with Antetokounmpo sitting out. You can make an argument for either side here, but I think the Magic can pull this one off with the Bucks still stumbling.
