ORLANDO, Fla. – As the NBA Playoffs begin, the Milwaukee Bucks find themselves matched up with the Orlando Magic in the first round. Many NBA bettors are expecting Milwaukee to take care of business quick and easy.
Online sportsbooks have the Bucks listed as the heavy favorites to win over the Magic with -1100 odds.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Orlando Magic
- Bucks -1100
- Magic +700
The Bucks are the heavy favorites here for a reason as they have seen the Magic four times in the regular season and have beaten them all four times. Not to mention that three of the four wins have come at double-digit margins.
Not to take anything away from Orlando as they are clearly a playoff team, but they do not have the size, speed or talent to match up with Milwaukee. However, betting on the -1100 odds is costly, and though Milwaukee is likely to win, there is more value to be found with player prop bets.
Giannis Player Props
Bettors can expect a big game out of the “Greek Freak” in this one as he is out for blood to make it to the NBA Finals this year.
One prop bet is if Giannis will record 30+ points, 6+ assists, and a Milwaukee win.
