Orlando (5-4 SU, 7-2 ATS, 3-6 O/U) beat Milwaukee 112-97 on Saturday, and Brooklyn (5-5 SU, 8-1-1 ATS, 5-5 O/U) beat Washington 102-94 on Sunday.

The Magic scored an impressive win over the Bucks in their last game, holding Milwaukee under 100 points. Orlando controlled the glass with a 43-36 rebounding advantage (15 offensive) and shot 30-for-35 at the foul line. It led by as many as 21 points.
Orlando has enough talent to compete in the Eastern Conference, granted it plays with an edge this season. The Magic are loaded at the frontcourt, as Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Wendell Carter Jr. form an exciting trio. They are hardly the only intriguing players on the roster, however, as veteran guards Joe Ingles and Gary Harris, sophomore guard Jalen Suggs, and floor general Cole Anthony will be difference-makers if this squad is going to make the playoffs.
The Ma gic score 110.1 points per game (21st) and shoot 45.4 percent from the field (22nd), including 33.1 percent from deep (25th). Orlando shoots 74.6 percent (22nd) and averages 45.3 rebounds (14th). Its opponents score 106.1 points per game (5th) and shoot 46.7 percent (17th) with a 34.6 three-point shooting percentage (12th). The Magic rank 30th in schedule-adjusted offensive rating, 4th in adjusted defensive rating, and 16th in pace of play, per Dunks and Threes.
