Game night preview
The Magic (12-4) continue their three-game road trip on Saturday when they face the Milwaukee Bucks (8-6) at 9 p.m. ET. The Bucks have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2009-10 NBA season thus far, jumping out to an 8-3 start. Rookie of the Year candidate Brandon Jennings has been a huge factor in Milwaukee’s turnaround. His numbers of 22.6 points, 5.6 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game are closer to those of an MVP candidate than that of a rookie. While limiting his production will be a major focus of Orlando’s defensive game plan, offensively the Magic look to challenge the Bucks’ weak interior. With Andrew Bogut out for the contest (strained/bruised left leg), Orlando will look to All-Star center Dwight Howard to take advantage of Milwaukee’s big man rotation of Dan Gadzuric and Kurt Thomas.
Here is the complete preview from Yahoo! Sports.
The Magic are 6 1/2 point favorites.

Hopefully the Magic can pick up where they left off against the Hawks Thursday night, and D12 can have another outstanding all-around game.
The Magic should win this game, as they are the superior team, and the Bucks are missing Andrew Bogut. It'll be interesting to see if the Magic can hold Bucks' rookie Brandon Jennings down. He's been struggling their last three games.
