Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks Analysis
Banchero Leads the Charge
The Houston Rockets got out to an 11-point lead after one and did not look back in the win over the Magic. Orlando had no answer for Fred VanVleet, who scored 37 points in the game. For the magic, Paolo Banchero led the team with 21 points, while ripping down 7 rebounds, and dishing 6 assists.
Orlando is near the bottom in all of the league in offense. The Magic are scoring right around 110 points per game. Banchero is the top scorer for the Magic with 22.6 per game, while Franz Wagner is second with 19.6 per game. These two teams have not played since December 21st in Milwaukee. In that game, Wagner scored a team-high 29 in the loss.
The Orlando Magic are on the road for one more game after this. Orlando will head to Philadelphia on Friday. The Magic then come home to finish their NBA regular season schedule. Orlando hosts the Bucks again on Sunday!
Playoff Push Without the Freak
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 15 points, recorded 8 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists in the win on Tuesday, but also left the game after 28 minutes. He hurt his calf, and likely will not play in this game. The Greek Freak is scoring more than 30 points per game, and averaging 11.6 rebounds per game.
The Bucks used 20 from Pat Beverly and got 15 off the bench from Bobby Portis. Damian Lillard only scored 12 points in the game, but he will be turned to for more scoring without Antetokounmpo. The guard, who is in his first season with the Bucks, is scoring 24.5 points per game.
For Milwaukee, this is the final home game left on the regular season schedule. The Bucks have back-to-back challenging road games. Milwaukee is at the Thunder on Friday, and then at the Magic on Sunday.
