Magic vs. Bucks Public Betting: Bettors Taking Points
Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 51% of public bettors are currently backing the Magic when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Suggs has 26 points in win over Suns
Jalen Suggs had 26 points (8-of-18 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and four 3-pointers in the Magic’s 115-100 victory over the Suns on Sunday. With Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner out, Suggs carried the mail for the Orlando offense as he led the team in both shot attempts and scoring. He’s a point guard, but also a proficient scorer and 3-point shooter. This uptick in usage should last as long as the Magic’s two stars are out. Orlando has three games in the upcoming week, starting with the Bucks on Tuesday.
Antetokounmpo probable for Tuesday
Giannis (right patella tendinopathy) is probable to play against Orlando on Tuesday. Giannis will continue to deal with this knee injury, but it isn’t expected to keep him out of the lineup, especially with a trip to Las Vegas on the line. Expect him to have yet another monster performance.
