Magic at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 115, Magic 105

Moneyline

The Bucks are 26-5 at home and are at full strength. Milwaukee is the hottest team in the league, riding a 15-game winning streak and facing a Magic team that is 11-20 on the road. But Orlando has won 5 of its last 7 road games.

The Bucks are 6-1 when playing on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Still, do not expect an upset win by the Magic and don’t bet on the Bucks on the moneyline unless it is simply a leg of a parlay bet. It isn’t worth the action otherwise.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Bucks have covered the spread in 7 of their last 10 games. The Magic are 5-5 ATS in their last 10, but have failed to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games. They are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a win.

The Bucks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games playing on no rest. They are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games against teams with a losing record.

BET BUCKS -7.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The Under is 4-0 in Orlando’s last 4 games against teams with a winning percentage of .600 or more. The Under is also 10-1 in their last 11 games playing on one day’s rest. Also, only 2 of the Magic’s last 8 games have reached 226 points.

The Under is 5-1 in the Bucks’ last 6 games playing with no rest.

BET UNDER 225.5 (-108).
