What to Know

The Bucks will be in front of their home fans on Wednesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They and the Orlando Magic will face off at 8:00 p.m. ET at Fiserv Forum without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. The Bucks are strutting in with some offensive muscle, as they've averaged 119.5 points per game this season.

The Bucks came into Tuesday's game having lost four straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They came out on top against the Celtics by a score of 104-91 on Tuesday. The team accrued 63 points in the first half and coasted on those for the win.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored the Magic on Tuesday, but the final result did not. They took a 118-106 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Rockets.

Milwaukee's victory ended a four-game drought at home and bumped them up to 48-31. As for Orlando, their loss dropped their record down to 46-33.

This contest is shaping up to be a blowout: The Bucks haven't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 119.5 points per game (they're ranked fourth in scoring overall). It's a different story for the Magic, though, as they've been averaging only 110.5. The only thing between the Bucks and another offensive beatdown is the Magic. Will they be able to keep them contained?

The Bucks didn't have too much breathing room in their match against the Magic when the teams last played back in December of 2023, but they still walked away with a 118-114 win. Will the Bucks repeat their success, or do the Magic have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
