The Milwaukee Bucks will face off against the Orlando Magic in a clash between the fourth and fifth seeds in the East on Friday’s NBA slate. In their last matchup, the Bucks scraped past the Magic at the Fiserv Forum, with Giannis Antetokounmpo scoring 37 points in a 114-109 win.

The Bucks will aim for a similar outcome this time, which would leave them just two wins behind the Magic, who have some tough matchups in the upcoming days.

The Bucks recently snapped a 5-game losing streak by securing two consecutive wins, including a resounding 121-105 win at home over the Spurs.

On the other hand, the Magic will be trying to make up for a dismal performance in a loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Orlando team has a 3-2 record since the start of the new year and anticipates the return of Paolo Banchero, who has been sidelined due to a month-long injury. Consistency will be key for the Magic to keep their playoff hopes alive.
