The Milwaukee Bucks are set to host the Orlando Magic at the Fiserv Forum for an intriguing rematch just six days after their last encounter. This Wednesday game marks the third clash between these two teams this season, with the Bucks having taken home victories in both previous meetings. Milwaukee comes into this game on the tail of a back-to-back set, having secured a 130-115 triumph over the Sacramento Kings, where their lead remained in double digits for most of the contest.
Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic approach this game with a fresher set of legs, having had a couple of days to rest after their 104-99 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Magic showcased their resilience in that game, overcoming a manpower shortage that saw them reduced to just eight available players. Paulo Banchero, who is just returning from injury, played a pivotal role in that win, scoring crucial points in the dying minutes to secure the victory. Orlando continues to grapple with injury challenges, however, with key players like Franz Wagner and Gary Harris sidelined, while others remain game-time decisions.

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks continue to leverage their star power, with Giannis Antetokounmpo having recently notched his 50th career triple-double. Alongside him, Damian Lillard has been a consistent contributor, particularly noted for his playmaking abilities. Despite their star performances, the Bucks are navigating their own roster issues, with injuries to Gary Trent Jr. and Khris Middleton affecting their lineup. Their recent performances underscore a volatile mix of high capability intertwined with occasional vulnerability, a dynamic they hope to stabilize as they face a determined Magic squad once again.
America Bet Match Winner Prediction
Milwaukee Bucks to Win
Given the current form and home-court advantage, the Milwaukee Bucks are the likely favourites to win this matchup against the Orlando Magic. The Bucks have demonstrated strong performances in their recent games, notably in their comprehensive victory over the Sacramento Kings. Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to be a pivotal force, with his ability to consistently deliver triple-doubles enhancing the team’s offensive and defensive capabilities. Despite the injury concerns, Milwaukee’s depth and the high-calibre contributions from players like Damian Lillard give them the edge. Additionally, the Bucks have already secured two wins against the Magic this season, which may give them a psychological advantage in this upcoming game.
America Bet Score Prediction
Orlando Magic 108 – 117 Milwaukee Bucks
The predicted scoreline reflects the Milwaukee Bucks’ strong offensive capabilities and their recent form, which should allow them to secure a relatively comfortable win against the Orlando Magic. With Giannis Antetokounmpo in stellar form and Damian Lillard providing solid support, the Bucks are expected to dominate on their home court. While the Magic have shown resilience and the ability to keep games close, even with a depleted roster, Milwaukee’s depth and superior scoring ability, especially in critical moments, will likely prove too much for the visiting team. Expect the Bucks to maintain control of the game, similar to their previous encounters this season.
