The Magic are entering this game with a 22-16 record overall this season and they are 13-5 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a win against the New York Knicks, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves still to be played on Thursday night.

The current betting odds have the Bucks listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks have looked good in their games this season with their 19-16 record overall which has them in the top half of the East at the moment. They had a terrible start to the season and are only 5-5 in their last 10 games too, but they have looked a lot better over the month to climb back up the standings in the East. They haven't looked great in road games with their 7-9 road record, but they do have some momentum coming into this one with 2 wins in a row now. Meanwhile, the Magic have looked good in their games this season with their 22-16 record overall which has them near the top of the East. They have looked great in their home games this year with their 13-5 home record and they are coming off a win over the Knicks in their last one, but they are also 5-5 in their last 10 games and have been struggling lately. They aren't in a great situation here either since they are playing this game on a back-to-back, and they have a really tough game against the Timberwolves the night before. The Bucks have struggled more in their road games this season, but they have been improving a lot over the last month and they have the talent to take advantage of the Magic on a back-to-back here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.

“It would be nice if we could have a stretch of health, just one stretch where all three of our guys are playing.” - Doc Rivers on the injuries the team has been dealing with. 

"I think those are big pieces for him. Being able to be on the floor, do some contact things. But just slowly but surely, he's working his way up. Then it's always, like we continue to say, how do they respond to the things that we've done the previous day." - Jamahl Mosley on the injury status of Paolo Banchero.
