Today’s best bet: Orlando Magic (-4) over MILWAUKEE BUCKS

The Bucks appear to be making a run at the Celtics for the second-worst record in the league and a possible shot at landing Greg Oden or Kevin Durant in the draft. They’ve lost nine of their last 10 games overall and four of five at home. Meanwhile, the Magic beat the Bucks by 18 on March 5 and are trying to hold on to the eighth and final playoff spot from the Eastern Conference.
