Milwaukee Bucks beat Orlando Magic 117-99

Milwaukee Bucks beat Orlando Magic 117-99, thanks to Bobby Portis' 30 points, nine rebounds, and five steals. Antetokounmpo, the two-time MVP, will miss the final three games of the regular season, but his availability for the playoffs remains uncertain. Damian Lillard contributed 29 points and nine assists, and the Bucks improved to 4-3 in games Antetokounmpo has missed this season. Jae Crowder scored 14 points off the bench, and Pat Beverley had 13 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.

Milwaukee leads the Eastern Conference's No. 2 playoff seed race, 1 1/2 games ahead of New York and two games ahead of Cleveland. Orlando is chasing its first playoff berth since 2020 and only its third since 2012. The Magic, led by Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs, have lost two straight and three of four games to earn one of the Eastern Conference's top six seeds.
