T.M. Selection: Magic (10*).

The Magic aren't likely to win this one outright. Milwaukee is a huge favorite here. It finished the first half with 3 straight W's before X-Mas. That included a 117-113 victory at home over Boston in its most recent. This is an interesting stretch though for the Bucks, who play again here two nights from now, followed by games against New Orleans, the Pistons and the Raptors. All of those teams are horrible. I think the Bucks come out flat here after the X-Mas break and that's going to be the opportunity that we can take advantage of here. The Magic play with revenge after a 123-92 loss to the Bucks as 13.5-point dogs on November 22nd, and they're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after a SU/ATS loss in which they were held to 95 points or less in. Look for Orlando to make this one "interesting!"

T.M. Prediction: 110-105 Milwaukee.
