Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
The Bucks’ healthy star trio is the difference in this one. That’s not to discredit how complete Milwaukee really is across the roster, but having healthy, rested guys at the top of your rotation is a big deal right now with so many teams, including Orlando, in serious injury ruts.
The Bucks aren’t going to let this one slip.
Give this one to Milwaukee on the road both straight up and against the spread.
