Betting insights
- The Magic will have their two best players sidelined for Tuesday’s game. Franz Wagner tore his right oblique last week, and Paolo Banchero is nearing his return but is still out with the same injury. The Bucks have no injury restrictions and are 8.5-point favourites, understandably so.
- Orlando is 2-6 ATS as an underdog this season. Milwaukee is 8-2 straight up in its past 10 games but just 5-5 ATS in that span.
- The first-place Thunder host the scorching-hot Dallas Mavericks, who have won seven straight games. Dallas beat OKC in a 121-119 thriller earlier this year and took care of the Thunder in six games in last year’s playoffs. Dallas is 5-2-1 ATS as an underdog this season.
- Dallas is 10-2 ATS in its past 12 games, winning four of those straight up as an underdog. OKC is 5-1-1 ATS in its past seven games and was favoured in each of them.
