Magic Starting 5: Orlando Loses Another vs. NBA Best Bucks

In this story:
1. MAGIC DROPS SECOND STRAIGHT VS. BUCKS
"Despite being without Giannis Antetokounmpo and guard Jrue Holiday, the Milwaukee Bucks handled the Orlando Magic 134-123 on the road Tuesday night.
"Orlando never managed to find a rhythm in front of its home fans, leading once in the first quarter before falling behind by double-digits for a majority of the contest."
2. MAGIC POWER RANKINGS
"The Bucks blitzed the Magic on Wednesday and connected on 26 threes en route to 139 points, the most Orlando has allowed all year," SI writes. "Cole Anthony finished with 28 points off the bench, but the Magic stood little chance against such a prolific shooting performance. They rebounded a few nights later with a win in Charlotte behind 31 points from Paolo Banchero and then dropped a tight game against Portland at home. Orlando has another shot at Milwaukee on Tuesday at the Amway Center."
3. MAGIC MOCK DRAFT
"USA Today's For the Win simulated all 58 selections, forecasting Cam Whitmore (Villanova) to be selected with the No. 5 overall pick, followed by Nick Smith Jr. (Arkansas) at No. 8. Rounding out their pick of the litter is Bilal Coulibaly (Metropolitans 92) at No. 35 -- Orlando's lone second round pick."
