Bucks at Magic picks and predictions
Prediction
Magic 115, Bucks 102
Moneyline
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Magic (-375) to handle a struggling Bucks (+300) squad.
Against the spread
LEAN MAGIC -9.5 (+100).
Despite the Magic dealing with multiple injuries, they still have the advantage over the Bucks. The Magic have covered in each of their last 3, all on the road, and will return home for the first time in over a week. They face a Bucks team that has been at full strength and is still undermanned. The Bucks have failed to cover in 3 of their last 4 and 6 of their last 8, with the 2 times they covered being as 12.5-point or more underdogs. They simply are unable to match up with Wagner and company.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 222.5 (-110).
The Bucks have hit the Under in 4 of their last 6 games. They have scored 111 or fewer points in 7 of their last 10 and lose a big playmaker with Banchero sidelined. They have allowed 108 or fewer points in back-to-back games and in 4 of their last 6.
The Bucks have hit the Under in 5 of their last 6. They have scored 107 or fewer points in 5 of their last 6, while failing to score more in 112 in each of their last 9.
