NBA Playoffs 2020: 3 storylines and a prediction for Bucks vs. Magic
Prediction: Bucks in 4
As much as there will be an opportunity in the NBA bubble for upsets in the NBA playoffs, it won’t come from the Orlando Magic. As talented as this team is, even with the injuries, the Magic simply don’t have the manpower – or offensive power – to go toe-to-toe with the best team in the Eastern Conference.
Even though the team is expected to be with Aaron Gordon when the Magic take the floor for Game 1 against the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo will be too much for the team to overcome. Orlando will present a good warmup for the Bucks. This Milwaukee team, however, has bigger and brighter plans for the playoffs.
Many expect this Bucks team to make it out of the Eastern Conference and potentially win the 2020 NBA Championship. This first-round series against the Magic will be the first step in possibly doing that.

The prediction for this series isn’t exactly shocking by any means. No disrespect to the Magic, but they’re vastly overmatched in this series. Bucks in 4.
