Milwaukee a mess
The Milwaukee Bucks have been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in three consecutive seasons and decided it was time for a rebuild.

On Wednesday, Milwaukee trailed by as many as 24 points during the 123-112 home loss versus Los Angeles.
G Tyler Herro led Milwaukee with 27 points on 8-for-16 shooting and dished out seven assists. The rest of the starting lineup combined for 27 points on a woeful 9-for-26 shooting effort. Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 25 points (7-16 FG) and five boards in 30 minutes off the bench for the Bucks.
During the preseason, about half of Milwaukee’s field goal attempts were from beyond the arc. That trend continued in Wednesday’s loss, as 38 of Milwaukee’s 81 field goal attempts were from beyond the arc. The Bucks converted 29-of-33 free-throw attempts and were outrebounded by a 48-40 margin.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Orlando Magic Picks and Prediction
Pick: Orlando Magic -9.5
Orlando G Jalen Suggs (knee) is considered questionable and F Paolo Banchero (ankle) will remain sidelined for this contest. The Magic took two out of three against the Bucks last season, with the victories coming by an average of almost 30 points. The Bucks are off to an awful start and have failed to cover eight of their 12 games. Take the Magic to win and cover at home.
Pick: Under 222.5
Orlando first year head coach Sean Sweeney promised to open up the offense, but playing without Banchero has made things tough. The Magic rank near the bottom of the league in pace and are averaging less than 110 points per contest. The Bucks are fourth worst in offensive efficiency and have not scored more than 112 points during the losing streak. Take the under.
Final Score Prediction: Orlando Magic win 115-99
