The Orlando Magic invade the Fiserv Forum to battle the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Here’s an Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction. This article will include an Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks Pick.

Orlando Magic 

The Orlando Magic have been in decent shape as they've split their last eight games, and they will be feeling pretty good after stopping a two-game skid with a 104-99 home win over the 76ers on Sunday. Cole Anthony led the team with 27 points on 11 of 17 shooting, Paolo Banchero and Jonathan Isaac scored 20 points each while Anthony Black chipped in with 17 points and six assists off the bench. As a team, the Magic shot 48 percent from the field and seven of 30 from the 3-point line. The Magic looked to be in trouble when they fell behind by nine points in the third quarter before they clamped down defensively and held the 76ers to just 22 points in the fourth quarter to earn the solid home victory. 

Milwaukee Bucks 

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been building nicely as they've won four of their past five games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after blowing past the Kings in a 130-115 home win last night. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with a triple-double of 33 points with 11 rebounds and 13 assists, Damian Lillard added 24 points with seven assists while Brook Lopez chipped in with 21 points. As a team, the Bucks shot 49 percent from the field and 17 of 45 from the 3-point line. The Bucks set the tone with 47 points in the first quarter to take a 21-point lead into halftime, allowing them to cruise in the second half almost unchallenged. The Bucks will take on the Raptors after this game.

Why the Milwaukee Bucks will win

  • The Bucks have won each of their last 10 night games against the Magic following a home win.
  • The Magic have lost each of their last nine games at Fiserv Forum.
  • The Magic have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six road games against Central Division opponents.
  • The favorites have covered the spread in four of the Bucks' last five games.

  • The Bucks have lost two of their last three games as home favorites following a win.
  • The Bucks have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.

Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The Magic are still missing a host of players including Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, Franz Wagner, and Moritz Wagner, while the Bucks have ruled out Gary Trent Jr and Khris Middleton once again. These teams last met on Friday, and it was the Bucks who won by 109-106 in Orlando. The Magic will be out for revenge, and I am sure we will see another close contest, but in the end, I have the Bucks getting the win and cover at home.
