Orlando Magic at Milwaukee Bucks Preview & Picks

Orlando are tipped to cover as a betting underdog in Milwaukee.

The Magic have a rough recent record against the Bucks, but they have covered consistently over the past few meetings and this current Milwaukee group is an unreliable spread bet.

  • Orlando Magic are 5-1-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings
  • Orlando Magic are 3-1-0 ATS in their previous 4 road games
  • Milwaukee Bucks are 4-6-0 ATS in their previous 10 games
  • The Over cashed in the 2 previous meetings this season

Head To Head

  • Milwaukee Bucks lead the all-time series 82-79
  • Milwaukee Bucks won 109-106 when the two teams last met on January 10

Orlando Magic Form

Orlando head to Milwaukee looking to build on the victory over Philadelphia and win back-to-back games for the first time since before Christmas.

The Magic went into Christmas Day on the back of wins over Miami and Boston, but they have struggled for consistency since then.

They lost 89-88 to Miami and 108-85 to New York, before failing to build on a 102-101 win over Brooklyn as they lost 105-96 in Detroit.

Orlando responded with a 106-97 win in Toronto, and then bounced back from a 105-92 loss to Utah with a 103-94 victory in New York.

The Magic lost the next two, 104-89 to Minnesota and 109-106 to Milwaukee, but avoided a third straight loss as they beat Philadelphia 104-99 on Sunday.

Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee go into this game having rebounded immediately from the weekend defeat to New York that ended a three-game win streak.

The Bucks struggled immediately following Christmas, losing 111-105 to Brooklyn and 116-111 in Chicago.

They then failed to build on a 120-112 victory in Indiana as they returned home for defeats at the hands of Brooklyn, 113-110, and Portland, 105-102.

Milwaukee turned things around in early January as they followed up a 128-104 win in Toronto with victories over San Antonio, 121-105, and Orlando, 109-106.

The Bucks failed to make it four-in-a-row though, as they were blown out in New York, 140-106, but they did hit back last night to beat Sacramento 130-115.

Verdict

Milwaukee are expected to come out on top in this one, but they lack appeal as a spread bet.

The Magic have covered in the two previous meetings this season, despite losing both times, so give us the visitors and the free buckets.
