Prediction published on 21/12/2023, 03:25  by Kennedy Kechula in NBA Predictions

The Milwaukee Bucks will be at home for their next NBA regular season fixture which will be against the Orlando Magic. Milwaukee is riding high and currently sits second in the Eastern Conference while the Magic are fourth. The Bucks are on a five-game winning streak and all five matches have come at home where they are 15-2 for the season. They defeated the Spurs 132-119 last time out. The game saw Damian Lillard score a season-high 40 points which was also his highest tally as a Buck. Milwaukee has the second-best offensive rating at the moment and in their last three games, have averaged 135.3 points. Adrian Griffin’s men could however go into this enticing battle without star forward Giannis Antentokounmpo who is questionable due to a foot injury.

The Orlando Magic won the season’s first meeting with the Bucks at home more than a month ago. They come up against a whole different team now but that victory will have them confident of ending their current slump. It did end a 14-game losing streak against their soon-to-be hosts, proving how far they have come this season as a franchise. Jamahl Mosley’s men have lost their last three games and were last time out defeated 115-106 at home by the Heat. Now they begin a three-game road trip and away from home they have struggled. Orlando, who are averaging 107.1 points when away from home, have suffered seven of their 10 defeats on the road. A positive for the Southeast Division franchise heading into this game is that there are no new injury concerns. They could have former Buck Joe Ingles back here as he is listed as questionable for the game.
