The current betting odds have the Bucks listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks have been really good this season with their 46-18 record overall making them the best team in the East and the entire NBA right now. They have been great in their road games too with a 19-12 road record and they just went on a 16 game losing streak that was snapped a few nights ago, but they have still been playing really well with a bounce back win in their last game. The Magic haven't been that great this season with their 27-38 record overall. They have been improving and have been a lot better at home with their 15-17 home record, but their play has been starting to slip in their games lately and they haven't even been winning many games on their home court over the last 2 weeks. The Magic are also dealing with some injuries while the Bucks are pretty much healthy and starting to play at their best as they get ready to make a deep run in the playoffs coming up soon. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.

“We feel like we’ve got a lot of depth. We’ve got a lot of guys that are good shooters that can get hot from the 3-point line. So that’s part of a good team and being able to play on back-to-backs and make it through the season and be prepared for the playoffs.” - Mike Budenholzer after his team’s win against the Wizards in their game on Sunday.

“He shot 20 free throws tonight. It just kind of makes it hard to guard him. You just want to put your hands behind your back. When he shoots 20 free throws by himself, it's kind of hard to stop him from having a huge night.” - Jalen Suggs after their loss against the Trail Blazers in their game on Sunday.
