Milwaukee are 16-4 SU in their last 20 games against Orlando.

The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Milwaukee's last 7 games on the road.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Milwaukee's last 5 games when playing on the road against Orlando.

Orlando are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Orlando's last 5 games.

Prediction

The Magic have been up and down this season and are only 4-5 at home but they have been playing great offense scoring 119 points in their last 10 games. The Bucks have won 3 of their last 4 games and have dominated the Magic beating them in 16 of their last 10 head to head games. The Bucks the better team but with the Magic playing great offense I think they can keep this game close enough to cover the spread.

PICK: Magic +6.5 (-110)
