Two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference will face off here on Wednesday night in Milwaukee. As both teams come into this game looking to gain some ground heading into the final few days of the regular season. Both of these teams will head into the playoffs as potential contenders to come out of the Eastern Conference and advance to the NBA finals at the end of the year. As the Orlando Magic take on the Milwaukee Bucks here on Wednesday night in Wisconsin with both teams, looking to build up as much momentum as possible. These two teams are separated by two games in the standings, and with three games remaining for each they could still have plenty of movement by the time the year comes to an end.
The Orlando Magic have had plenty of success this season, as they have mixed a solid young core of players with the right veteran pieces. They will look to maintain that success throughout the end of the regular season, and into the opening rounds of the postseason as well. Orlando comes into this game with 46 victories through their first 79 games of the season and they will look for their 47th win of the year here on Wednesday night on the road against Milwaukee. This is a victory that could go a long way for the Orlando Magic heading into the playoffs. As the top teams in the East or separated by a few games here and there and it could determine a lot of seeding differences heading into the later round.
Despite a lackluster losing record on the road the Orlando Magic are the favorites to win this one after Giannis Antetokounmpo went down with an injury in the Bucks game on Tuesday night. Orlando will look to take advantage of a game where the Bucks will likely be without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and pick up a much-needed victory away from home here on Wednesday. It has been three days since Orlando was last in action as they picked up a victory over the Chicago Bulls, and they will look for their second consecutive win in a row here on Wednesday night. Coming into this one, they have one four out of their last five and they will look to keep the momentum rolling with another victory.

The Milwaukee Bucks have put together a fantastic season, however, it could be all for nothing, depending on how the results of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s injury turnout. He was running up the court in their game on Tuesday night when he suddenly went to the ground, holding his leg as it appeared to be a no contact injury for one of the best players in the NBA. If this ends up being a long-term injury, it could shift the entire dynamic of the NBA right before the postseason. As it would likely eliminate Milwaukee from championship contention without one of the best players in the league in their postseason lineup.
It would be a massive blow for the Milwaukee Bucks and they are hoping things turn out better than they looked on Tuesday night. As they get ready to play their second game in as many days here on Wednesday night at home against the Orlando Magic. It seems all but likely they will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo for this game on Wednesday night and they will have to find a way to get the job done without him in the lineup. Which means guys like Khris Middleton, and Damian Lillard will need to step up and put up stellar performances to lead Milwaukee to a much-needed victory.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Orlando is 28-18 after a win
- Orlando is 31-18 against the East
- Orlando is 29-7 as a favorite
Even with the increased likelihood of Giannis Antetokounmpo missing this game, I still look for this to be a close and competitive matchup on Wednesday night. However, in the end I look for the Orlando Magic to come into Milwaukee, and steal a victory away from the Milwaukee Bucks here in this one. Not only do I look for the Orlando Magic to pick up the victory on the road here on Wednesday night, I also look for them to cover the spread in the process.
