The Magic are even more short-handed than they thought they were for the past several weeks now that Franz Wagner is out. Remember, Paolo Banchero has been out since before Halloween; that's 53.4 points per game worth of offense the Magic has in dry-dock at the moment. On the plus side, Jamahl Mosley has Orlando playing focused defense and rebounding...the little things that make a team a contender. Even mins the big two on the weekend vs. the Suns, Orlando managed to take down the Suns. As for the other side, Milwaukee has been stirring, recently uncorking a seven-game win streak, but losses in two of the last three have dulled the recent edge a bit, and Orlando continues to surprise. Play Magic

The Bucks give up the most points and the fourth-most rebounds to opposing point guards. Orlando is playing without its top two scorers, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Sunday against Phoenix, Suggs had 26 points and four rebounds while playing 31 minutes. I'm expecting a few more minutes Tuesday given this is an NBA Cup quarterfinal.

The Bucks are 8-4 at home with six of those wins coming by at least seven points. They are the healthiest that they have been in a while with Khris Middleton expected to play his third straight game. The Magic won’t have health on their side with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner out. The Magic haven’t been nearly as good on the road as they have at home this season, so this is setting up to be a great spot for the Bucks to cover the spread.

DraftKings. Giannis has cleared this line in 13/18 games playing alongside Lillard this season, including 9/10 at home. While the Magic are a great team defense, I do like Giannis’ individual matchup a bit better than Lillard’s in this one. Overall, he’s averaging 32.5 points per game this season, and in a game where motivations will be high, I’ll gladly bet this with a 3 point discount. Would bet to o30.5.
