Bruce’s Analysis:
The venerable NBA zig-zag appears again after these two met on Monday night in Orlando with the Magic rolling 118-99. History suggests a quick turnaround, and the Bucks had been playing better in front of Monday, having won three in a row (two of those vs. the Pacers) and seeming to adjust as well as possible minus Giannis, who remains out. Though too sloppy on Monday with a whopping 20 turnovers, a fundamental issue that Doc Rivers must properly address before the rematch.
Orlando hadn’t been providing great spread value (9-22 previous 31) before Monday, though they have now won three straight. Top scorer Franz Wagner did return 48 hours ago but only made a modest impact, scoring 14 points in 17 minutes. Play Bucks
