Bucks at Magic: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Bucks 123, Magic 103
Money line (ML)
The Bucks (-375) will cost you nearly four times your potential return, and there is no way to justify risking that kind of scratch on a team on a three-game skid.

Against the spread (ATS)
The MAGIC +8.5 (-110) have been on fire against the number lately, while the Bucks +8.5 (-110) are struggling.
Milwaukee drilled Orlando in their first visit Jan. 11, winning 121-99 as 10-point favorites as the Under connected. However, the Bucks are just 3-10 ATS in the past 13 on the road, while the Magic are 7-2 ATS in the past nine overall. Look for Orlando to keep it within four buckets.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 224.5 (-110) is the play. Orlando has hit the Over in four of the past five, and they are likely to be missing Antetokounmpo. While a lot of their offense is gone, that’s also a strong defender who will be on the sidelines.
The Over is 7-2 across the past nine as a favorite for the Bucks, and the Over is 5-2-1 in the past eight meetings between these teams in Orlando, too.
