Orlando Magic @ Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks tonight seek revenge for a loss just two nights back when they host the Orlando Magic.
Milwaukee have surprised many this season to be 22-19 overall. They had won 10 of 13 but look to get back on track tonight after dropping their last two. At the weekend they lost 99-94 to the Pistons who were in the midst of a 13-game winning streak. And most recently they lost 106-99 at Orlando despite a second-half surge. Milwaukee's 10-man rotation has been key to their success this season but their bench was dominated by their Magic counterparts in that game. Expect them to step it up tonight and for the entire Bucks line-up to lift their defensive intensity after allowing their last two opponents to shoot more than 50% from the field.
Milwaukee have the second-best home record in the Eastern conference this season going 15-5 SU and 13-7 ATS. And they have covered 10 of 16 contests against Atlantic division opponents.
Orlando have been exceptionally disappointing this season and at just 11-31 overall have the dubious distinction of owning the worst record in the NBA. They have shown some signs of improvement recently and have won three of their last six SU. But their road record is still a horrible 5-17 SU and 7-14 ATS. And when they lose on the road they tend to lose by a big margin....12 of their last 13 road losses have been by at least 7 points and have come at an average of 13.4 ppg.
As a road underdog of 6.5 to 9 points the Magic are 2-5 ATS this season and 10-15 the last three seasons.
We're prepared to lay the wood tonight on a team that covers 65% of their home games against an opponent covering just 33% of their road games.
Recommended Play: Milwaukee -7
