Fresh off their win last night in Brooklyn, the Bucks look to extend their Winning streak to 16 games tonight at home against the Orlando Magic. Last night in Brooklyn, we saw another big game out of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who scored 33 points in the Bucks 118-104 win over the Nets.
Orlando is looking to continue their winning ways against the Bucks tonight at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, coming into to this Game winning 6 of their last ten. If the Magic want to keep their playoff hopes alive they are going to have to find a way to win more often. The Magic currently sit 7 games back in the Southeast Division behind the Miami Heat.
Paolo Banchero who leads the magic in every major offensive category averaging 20 points per game, has to have a better-than-average night against a very tough Bucks team if Orlando has any chance tonight on the road.
Injuries shouldn't play much of a factor in this game as neither team has any major contributors listed on the injury report.

Usually, when I see points spread at 8.5 my automatic reaction is to take the underdog to cover. However, with the Bucks playing absolute lights-out basketball right now, the best bet here is to take them to cover against the Magic. The Bucks are clearly the better team, and I think this game has the potential to be very lopsided. The only real chance Orlando has in this game is to find a way to shut Antetokounmpo down, something every team in the NBA has struggled with this season.
I would stay away from betting the money line in this game. At -425 for the Bucks to win out, the risk-reward for a -425 money line bet just inst appealing to me. Obviously, if I was going to bet the money line in this game I would put my money on the Bucks as I don't believe the Magic have much of a chance in this game.
With the Over/under being at 235 in this game, I'm going to recommend to bet the under. The Bucks are a very good team, however, they find a way to when playing good defense and pulling down a massive amount of rebounds. Orlando is averaging around 110 points per game this season, and I don't think they will meet their average tonight against a Bucks team who has played superb defense all year.
