The Orlando Magic are looking to avoid a three-game losing streak as they face the Milwaukee Bucks, who are coming off a 126-124 loss despite a 54-point performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Magic are dealing with injuries to key players Wendell Carter Jr., who is out with a broken bone in his left hand, and Gary Harris, who has missed the last three games due to a groin injury.
Bucks' Damian Lillard, who scored 34 points against the Pistons, is a late scratch from the lineup due to right calf soreness, and his status for the upcoming game remains uncertain.
The Magic have been struggling with turnovers, averaging 16.3 per game, and free-throw shooting, with a 72.8 percent success rate, both of which are among the worst in the league.
Despite their struggles, the Magic have been successful in creating takeaways, with opponents committing 17.1 turnovers a game, the NBA's fourth-highest rate, and Orlando averaging the second-most steals per game at 9.8.
