Bucks at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 122, Magic 111

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Bucks (-280) should secure the road victory assuming that Antetokounmpo plays, but taking them to win at the current odds isn’t advised.

Against the spread

BET BUCKS -6.5 (-120).

F Khris Middleton isn’t on the injury report for Tuesday’s matchup and the Bucks have been arguably the best team in basketball for over a month. Milwaukee is 8-0 ATS in its last 8 road games and Orlando is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 home games.

Over/Under

UNDER 233.5 (-110) is the lean in this showdown with the Magic having the 6th-worst offensive rating in the NBA. The Under has hit in 6 of the last 10 meetings between these teams.

The Bucks are 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 games playing on 1 day of rest, and the Magic are 5-0 to the Under in their last 5 games following a loss.

Bucks at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 121, Magic 107

Moneyline

The Bucks (-425) will cost you more 4 times your potential return, and that’s a little on the costly side, even with the Magic struggling as much as they are.

PASS.

Against the spread

The BUCKS -9.5 (-110) have enough talent to win by double digits against this bad team from O-Town despite some key injuries.

The good news is that Antetokounmpo and G Jrue Holiday (knee) are off the injury report, and Middleton is probable to play. The bad news is that Allen, a starter, is questionable to play due to right plantar fascia soreness, while depth players Beauchamp and Ibaka are sidelined due to a non-COVID illness.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 224.5 (-110), but go lightly with a half-unit play only.

The Under is 12-2 in the past 14 games on the road, but the Over is 5-2 in the past 7 games overall for the Bucks. The Over is also 7-3-1 in the past 11 meetings in this series in Orlando.

With “The Greek Freak” and Holiday back on the floor, and Middleton likely to suit up, Milwaukee should be all systems go and ready to roll up some strong offensive numbers against a bad Magic side.

Milwaukee Bucks at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Milwaukee Bucks at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Milwaukee Bucks (23-13) travel to Amway Center Thursday to take on the Orlando Magic (7-28). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Bucks vs. Magic odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Bucks are finally looking like the championship-winning Bucks of a season ago.

After a rough start, the Bucks have won 7 of their last 10. They’re one of just four teams in the league (Warriors, Jazz and Heat included) to have both offensive and defensive both in the league’s top 10.

However, they’re just 16-20 ATS this season. Orlando isn’t much worse though at just 15-20. The Magic will be down numerous players including four of their top six scorers. They’ll enter as heavy underdogs.

Bucks at Magic odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 120, Magic 100

Money line

PASS.

The Magic more than likely aren’t pulling off an upset, so their +750 price has little value. At the same time, a -1400 regular-season favorite is always a hard pass.

Against the spread

BET BUCKS -14.5 (-107). While it seems odd to bet on a team with this type of spread, the Phoenix Suns recently covered against the Oklahoma City Thunder as 16-point favorites Wednesday, winning by 18 (115-97).

The Bucks are just as dominant and have shown that they’ll blow teams out. Despite being on the road, the health and talent differences should allow Milwaukee to win big.

The Bucks have beaten the Magic by 17, 9 and 31 this season. Orlando is going to be too short handed to put up any fight.

Over/Under

BET OVER 217.5 (-115).

Getting the juice here, this is the side sportsbooks clearly like as well. This more than likely stems from the Magic’s inability to defend, ranking in the bottom five in the league in defensive rating.

They also rank in the bottom 10 in turnover rate. Against a Bucks team that ranks ninth in pace, this game should be played in transition. Milwaukee has topped 115 points in three of its last four games.

It’ll really be about whether or not Orlando can get its offense going. Having scored at least 100 in five of its last six games, its recent success gives hope that it can help the Over here.

Milwaukee Bucks at Orlando Magic odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Milwaukee Bucks at Orlando Magic NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Milwaukee Bucks (32-20) visit the Orlando Magic (17-35) at Amway Center at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Bucks-Magic odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Bucks are skidding hard, as they enter on a three-game losing streak, and they have failed to cover in each of the past four outings. They’re just 3-6 SU across the nine games, and 2-8 ATS across the past 10 overall.

The Magic are on a four-game losing streak, last winning in overtime at New Orleans on April 1. They have been respectable against the number, however, cashing in seven of the previous nine outings overall.

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.

PASS.

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.
