The Orlando Magic and the Milwaukee Bucks duke it out at the Fiserv Forum on Tuesday night. Here’s an Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction. This article will include an Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks Pick.
Orlando MagicÂ
The Orlando Magic have been in red-hot form as they’ve won eight of their last 10 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after taking down the Suns in a 115-110 home win on Sunday. Jalen Suggs led the team with 26 points on eight of 18 shooting, Goga Bitadze added 21 points with 16 rebounds and four assists while Cole Anthony chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Magic shot 47 percent from the field and 12 of 36 from the 3-point line as they struggled to match the Suns early on and trailed for most of the contest until the fourth quarter where they went on a pivotal 12-3 run to take the lead and escape with the comeback win at home. The Magic will meet the Thunder after this game.
Milwaukee BucksÂ
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in great form as they’ve won 10 of their last 13 games overall and they will be looking to maintain that momentum after sneaking past the Nets in a 118-113 road win on Sunday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 34 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists on 14 of 22 shooting, Bobby Portis added 23 points on nine of 10 shooting off the bench while Gary Trent Jr chipped in with 20 points. As a team, the Bucks shot 57 percent from the field and 15 of 31 from the 3-point line as they found themselves in a real arm wrestle with the Nets until they closed the final 3:38 on a 17-7 run to steal the game in the end.Â

Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Magic are still shorthanded with Franz Wagner ruled out and Jonathan Isaac listed as questionable, while the Bucks are expected to have a full roster once again now that Khris Middleton has rejoined the lineup. The Magic deserve so much credit for how they’ve been able to pile on the wins despite missing Paolo Banchero and they were good enough to beat the shorthanded Suns without Franz Wagner who has been playing like an All-Star, but it’s going to be tough to replicate that effort against a fully healthy Bucks team playing at home. The line is reasonable for this one, so while I have the Magic hanging around, I like the Bucks to continue their strong form with a win and cover at home.
