Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks preview
The Magic have not beaten the Bucks since Feb. 9, 2019. They are 2-1 at home this season and have four players in their injury report. Wendell Carter Jr., Kevon Harris and Trevelin Queen are all listed as out, while Gary Harris is questionable.
Meanwhile, the Bucks are 1-2 on the road and have had a tough start to the season as they get used to Adrian Griffin's system. There are three players in the Bucks' injury report – Damian Lillard, Marques Bolden and TyTy Washington Jr. Lillard - who is questionable due to a sore right calf.
Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks predicted lineups
The Orlando Magic have already used several different starting lineups this season because of injuries.
If Gary Harris doesn't play on Friday, coach Jamahl Mosley could use a starting lineup of Markelle Fultz, Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Goga Bitadze.
The same can be said for the Milwaukee Bucks due to injuries to Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton. If Lillard plays against the Magic, Adrian Griffin should have a lineup of Lillard, Malik Beasley, Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez.
Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks betting tips
Giannis Antetokounmpo is coming off a 54-point performance, so he has an over/under of 29.5 points for Saturday. It will likely depend on Damian Lillard's availability. You can get -120 by taking the over if Lillard is out and -106 by taking the under if he's going to play.
Antetoukounmpo is also among the top rebounders in the game with an over/under of 11.5 boards. He is -100 to go over 11.5 rebounds, but it might be better to go under with odds of -115 since he only averages 9.1 rebounds per match against the Orlando Magic.
Paolo Banchero is the Magic's best scorer, but he has been less aggressive to start the season. Banchero is due for a big game with an over/under of 18.5 points. He is -120 to go over and -110 to go under.
Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction
The Bucks are the slight favorites to beat the Magic on Saturday. The Bucks have a -3 spread and are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 games. Orlando is +3, but they have been much better this season, so they could give Milwaukee some problems.
Lillard could be the biggest factor in the matchup. If he's available, the Bucks could get the win and cover the spread easily. It won't be as easy if Dame is out, thohgb, and Milwaukee will have to rely on Giannis Antetokounmpo to carry them to a win.
Despite the performances of the Magic this season, recent history is against them. The Bucks have won 14 straight games over the Magic, so it would be safer to bet on Antetokounmpo and company.
