The Magic have a home breakthrough in reach against a Bucks team ranked last in the power index.
Orlando gets a chance Friday to end its 0-4 home start against a Milwaukee team that is 1-11 and ranked 30th in the power index; the Magic are 4-7 and 20th. The Bucks have allowed 121.3 points per game, while Orlando averages 108.5, making Milwaukee’s ability to slow the Magic’s attack a central test. Franz Wagner has scored 258 points in 11 games, while Milwaukee’s Tyler Herro has 241 in 11, setting up a production duel between the teams’ leading scorers. Orlando will be without Paolo Banchero, so Wagner’s scoring and the Magic’s ability to exploit Milwaukee’s defensive struggles could decide whether the hosts earn their first home win.
