The Bucks, currently 1-2 on the road, are adjusting to Adrian Griffin's system. Injuries to Damian Lillard, Marques Bolden, and TyTy Washington Jr. add challenges. Lillard is questionable with a sore right calf.

Bucks (if Lillard plays): Damian Lillard, Malik Beasley, Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez.
Betting Tips:
Giannis Antetokounmpo's recent 54-point performance prompts an over/under of 29.5 points. Depending on Damian Lillard's availability, consider betting on the over if Lillard is out (-120) or the under if he plays (-106).
Antetokounmpo's rebounding prowess places his over/under at 11.5 boards. Betting on the under (-115) might be strategic, considering his average of 9.1 rebounds against the Magic.

Paolo Banchero, the Magic's leading scorer, holds an over/under of 18.5 points. Bet on the over (-120) if Banchero delivers a standout performance or the under (-110) if he faces challenges.
Prediction:
The Bucks enter as slight favorites with a -3 spread. Having won 14 consecutive games against the Magic, Milwaukee aims to secure another victory. Damian Lillard's potential impact looms large – if available, the Bucks may cover the spread comfortably. However, if Lillard is absent, the Magic could pose challenges, relying on Giannis Antetokounmpo to lead them to victory.
As the two teams collide, the Magic seek to break their losing streak against the Bucks, setting the stage for an intriguing and potentially unpredictable matchup.
