The Magic are entering this game with a 46-32 record overall and they are 18-20 in their road games this season where they will be in this game.

In their game against the Bulls, Paolo Banchero led the team in points in that game with 24 while Jalen Suggs was next on the team with 19 points.

Their offense is averaging 110.6 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 108.3 PPG against them. The Magic have an ATS record of 50-28 this season and their O/U record is 34-43-1.

The Bucks are entering this game with a 47-31 record overall and they are 29-11 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game on a 4 game losing streak with losses coming against the Washington Wizards, the Memphis Grizzlies, the Toronto Raptors, and the New York Knicks in their last game, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Boston Celtics still to be played on Tuesday night. In their game against the Knicks, Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team in points in that game with 28 while Bobby Portis Jr. was next on the team with 24 points.

The Bucks have an ATS record of 33-44-1 this season and their O/U record is 38-39-1.

The current betting odds have the Bucks listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks have looked good in their games this season with their 47-31 record overall which has them right near the top of the East and in a playoff spot. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 29-11 home record. Meanwhile, the Magic have looked really good in their games this season with their 46-32 record overall which also has them right near the top of the East and in a playoff spot. They are right on the tail of the Bucks, trying to pass them for that 2nd place spot in the East, but they have also been terrible in their road games this year with their losing 18-20 road record. They did beat the Bulls in their last one and they are the hotter team coming into this one with their 6-4 record in their last 10 games, but they are also on a back-to-back here and this is a bad situation for them since they have struggled a lot more in road games. The Bucks have looked terrible lately with their 3-7 record in their last 10 games and they are also on a back-to-back here with a game against the Celtics the night before, but it will help being on their home court for both games since they don't have to travel and their game against the Celtics should give them a boost from the way they have been playing lately. The Bucks need to start winning games again since they have lost 4 in a row now and this is a good chance for them to bounce back, whether they lose to the Celtics the night before or not. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.
