The Milwaukee Bucks (21-29) put their three-game winning streak on the line tonight in the first of two in a row against the Orlando Magic (27-24).
With Giannis Antetokounmpo still sidelined, the Bucks look to begin a three-game road trip with a pair of games in Orlando. Doc Rivers offered an update to the 2-time MVP’s calf strain late last week: “He’s going to play when he’s healthy. We’ve just got to make sure he’s healthy. He’s getting close. He’s working out. He looks good. I would say hopefully sooner than later.”

The Magic have won their last two taking advantage of a stretch in their schedule at home against teams under .500 and out of playoff contention. With back-to-back home games against the Bucks, its an opportunity for Orlando to build some momentum heading into the All-Star Break. The Magic are currently 7th in the East (trailing 6th-place Philadelphia by 2.5 games for the final guaranteed playoff spot).
Milwaukee sits 12th in the Eastern Conference, 2.5 games behind the Hornets for 10th and the final spot in the Play-In Tournament. The Bucks string of nine straight seasons of reaching the postseason remains very much in jeopardy.
Following Games tonight and Wednesday in Orlando, these teams meet for a final time during the regular season on March 8 in Milwaukee.
