Bucks at Magic
(NBA) Bucks (MIL) vs. Magic (ORL),
Point Spread: 7.00 | -115.00 Magic (ORL) (Home)
Result: Win
His long-awaited return having been pushed back until tonight, Paolo Banchero returns to active duty for the first time since Halloween. Banchero has only played in five games this season but was scoring at a 29 pg clip when he went out at Halloween. In the meantime the Magic have mostly managed to stay above water, but the recent (and similar) injury to Franz Wagner has forced Jamahl Mosley into cobbling together ample offense. That ought to change for the better if Banchero returns to near his pre-injury form. Giannis, Dame, and Khris Middleton all figure to feature for the Bucks, but again they have made the daily injury report, suggesting each might be a bit less than 100%, with Middleton (ankle) and Giannis (knee) in particular having reduced efficiency lately. The Bucks are also only 3-4 SU their last seven. Play Magic
