What could decide the Milwaukee Bucks vs Orlando Magic game
Milwaukee must replace Giannis’ rebounding and rim protection. Turner and Portis will be important against Banchero and possibly Carter Jr. Even if Carter does not play, Orlando has enough size to compete inside.Perimeter defense could also matter. Orlando averages more steals, and Milwaukee could be thinner at guard if Rollins is unavailable.Milwaukee relies heavily on three-point shooting, with Portis and Kuzma stretching the floor. Orlando scores consistently by attacking the basket and converting free throws.
