T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Bucks.

I like the Milwaukee Bucks to cover the spread against the Orlando Magic in this game on Thursday. The Bucks have won 4 games in a row now and they have looked good in most of those games. Their most recent game was a win over the Magic in Orlando by 17 points on Tuesday night. The Bucks are going to be playing the Magic in Orlando again in this game but nothing has really changed for the Magic with their covid and injury situation since then. I think the Bucks are going to beat them by a lot again in this game and I'm expecting a similar result as the other night. The Bucks are healthy for this game while the Magic still have 13 players on the injury report. Most of their bench depth is going to miss this game with covid and a few of their starters are going to miss the game with just regular injuries. The Magic have lost 3 games in a row and they haven't looked great in those games. They have already struggled to win games all year at full strength but now the obstacles keep piling up for them and making it even more difficult to win games. I don't think the Magic are going to be able to keep up with Giannis and the Bucks here and I'm expecting them to get another big win in this game similar to the other night. This is basically a very thin Magic lineup against a very healthy Bucks lineup so I like the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 121-97 Bucks.
