The Bucks approached yesterday's game against Sacramento after a crushing away loss to New York (106:140) and couldn't afford to lose. The team didn't let it slip, outscoring the Kings, who had gained a strong run, by 15 points - 130:115. Milwaukee outscored its opponent in key indicators - 32:25 in assists and 52:45 in rebounds. Also note that Giannis Antetokoumpo finished the game with a triple-double - 33 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists.
Thus, the Bucks already have four wins in the last five games. The team from Milwaukee continues to improve its position and is already in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a 21-17 balance and only 0.5 wins behind the fourth line.
Orlando Magic
The Magic had a home stretch ahead of their road trip to Milwaukee. The team lost two games out of three, failing to cope with Minnesota (89:105) and the same Bucks (106:109), and beating only a half-reserve squad Philadelphia (104:99). Orlando retained its place in the top-4 of the East, but, we repeat, ahead of the fifth-ranked Milwaukee by only 0.5 wins.
We should also note that Paolo Banquero has already returned to the court for the Magic. Franz Wagner will recover very soon. In addition, it is important to remember that Orlando has the best defense this season - 103.2 points allowed per game on average; and the worst offense - 104.8 points scored per game.
H2H Meetings
Milwaukee has beaten Orlando twice this season - 109:106 on the road in January; and 114:109 at home in the NBA Cup quarterfinals in December.
Overall, the Bucks have beaten the Magic in 18 of the previous 20 head-to-head meetings.
Expert Betting Tips
Orlando is gradually getting rid of the problems associated with injuries to leaders, and has already waited for Paolo Banquero. However, in the match with Milwaukee, it will still be difficult for the Magic to claim victory. The Bucks are in great shape, interrupted a long successful series with Sacramento in the previous game, and also practically do not lose to Orlando for several years. We bet here on Doc Rivers' team, and also, taking into account the imbalance of Orlando's defense, on the total under.
Total Under 211.5 for 1.91
Total Under 211.5 for 1.91
W1 for 1.47
