Bucks vs Magic prediction

Massive game for both the Bucks and Magic. The Bucks are fighting for the second seed in the East but could fall to the fourth seed. The Magic are hoping for the fifth seed, but could fall as low as the eighth seed. The Magic should be favored at home considering they have a clean injury report, and they’re the top cover team in the NBA with a cover percentage of 61.7 percent. The Bucks are without Antetokounmpo and Lillard is questionable with a hip issue. I’m going to assume the Bucks will play who they can in hopes of getting the second seed. If that’s the case, the value is with the points. The Bucks are the experienced team that knows games like this are important, and they’ve won 9 of the last 10 games against the Magic. The Bucks beat the Magic 4 days ago by 18 points. Give me the road dog.
