Welcome to Opposition Intel!
The Milwaukee Bucks chalked up a big win in Florida on Tuesday night against the Miami Heat, and now moving on to face more Floridians in the form of the Orlando Magic, they’ll need to be on their game once again.
With the Bucks struggling to pick up any momentum recently, winning games only to lose their next one out, Milwaukee will want to take care of business against a team below them in the standings.
Just because the Magic are a long way out of the Playoff places doesn’t mean that the Bucks should take them lightly though. With young talent like Victor Oladipo and Nikola Vucevic, the Magic are a dangerous proposition every night of the season.
Ahead of the action, we spoke to Orlando Magic authority Zach Oliver about their season so far, how he sees the Bucks, and the game’s key matchups.
Zach covers the Magic over at SB Nation’s Orlando Pinstriped Post, as well as contributing at Thunder Obsessed and the Hardwood Paroxysm Basketball Network’s Friendly Bounce. You can follow him on Twitter where he goes by Bow Tie Killa: @ZachOliverNBA
Let’s take a look at what he had to say.
