Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
Friday in the NBA sees an Eastern Conference matchup as the Orlando Magic host the Milwaukee Bucks. The Magic are sitting fourth in the East standings with a 22-17 record while the Bucks are right behind in fifth place at 19-16. Here’s our match prediction.
The Magic are playing the second half of a home back-to-back following a 104-89 defeat to the Timberwolves last night. It marked another game in which Orlando struggled to score the ball as they await the return of their two missing star players in Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner.
Banchero, who only played five games before injuring his oblique, was officially listed as ‘questionable’ on the Magic injury report for last night’s game although ultimately didn’t take part. The Magic are 5-5 in their last 10 games and possess a strong 13-6 home record.
The Bucks will be looking to make it three in a row after securing wins over the Raptors and Spurs over the last four days. Milwaukee wrapped up a 121-105 home win over San Antonio on Wednesday with the team shooting 45.2% from three-point range.
They’ll be targeting an extended winning streak after dropping four out of five games prior to their current winning run. The trio of Lillard, Antetokounmpo and Middleton are all currently on the injury report but are expected to suit up for this one.

Our Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
While the Magic will be getting Banchero back after two long months on the sidelines, they’re unlikely to play him heavy minutes. Additionally, Orlando are on the second half of a back-to-back and are averaging just 100.6 points per game in this spot this season.
Orlando has won games this season thanks to their elite defense. They’ll come up against another strong defensive team in Milwaukee who rank eighth in opponent points allowed. We could be in for a gritty, defensive showdown here. Our Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction: under 208.5.
