Command Analysis

Milwaukee Bucks

Current form
The team from Milwaukee is gradually reaching the peak of its form. After an unsuccessful start to the season, the Bucks have added aggression and organization. The club currently occupies the fifth place in the Eastern Conference and strives to rise even higher. The team has 4 wins in the last 5 games, which confirms their serious intentions.
In the previous match, the Deer confidently beat Sacramento (130:115), where Giannis Antetokounmpo made a triple-double and once again confirmed his status as a leader. Damian Lillard also contributed, scoring 24 points. The team feels confident on the home court, and the support of the stands often becomes a decisive factor. The main task for the upcoming match is to show a stable game in defense and exploit Orlando weaknesses.

Orlando Magic

Current form
The Florida club is in a difficult situation due to numerous injuries. Franz and Moritz Wagner are still recovering, which limits the team options. However, the return of Paolo Banchero is an important moment, although his form is still far from ideal.
After two consecutive defeats, the Magic won a comeback victory over Philadelphia (104:99), where Cole Anthony scored 27 points. The team occupies the fourth place in the East, but its position is under threat due to competitors. The meeting with Milwaukee will be a serious test for Jamal Mosley charges. It will be important for Orlando to give it their all to maintain a place in the top 4.
