Why the Bucks can cover
Milwaukee got back on track on Tuesday night, snapping its four-game losing streak with a 104-91 win over Boston. Veteran guard Patrick Beverley replaced Malik Beasley in the starting lineup, posting a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds. The Bucks are going to be without star Giannis Antetokounmpo after he suffered a non-contact calf injury on Tuesday, but they still have multiple stars on their roster.
Damian Lillard is averaging 24.4 points and 7.0 assists after scoring 36 points against Toronto last week. Khris Middleton is adding 15.0 points and 4.7 rebounds, while Bobby Portis is adding 13.7 points off the bench. The Bucks have won seven consecutive home games against the Magic, who have only covered the spread three times in their last nine games. See which team to pick here.
Why the Magic can cover
Orlando is in the middle of a tight race for seeding in the Eastern Conference, as it is tied with Cleveland for fourth place in the standings. The Magic are only one game behind New York and two games back of Milwaukee with three games remaining in the regular season. These teams will play again on Sunday in Orlando, so the Magic could still jump several spots in the standings.
They are led by power forward Paolo Banchero, who is averaging 22.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists. Banchero has scored at least 21 points in four straight games, including back-to-back 32-point outings last week. The Magic have covered the spread in five of their last six games against Eastern Conference teams, while Milwaukee is 1-4 against the spread in its last five games. Franz Wagner (ankle) did not play on Tuesday, and his status for Wednesday is up in the air. See which team to pick here.
