Bucks and Magic Meet in Orlando
The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Orlando Magic at Amway Center on Sunday evening.

The Bucks (32-20) are naturally still in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race, but they've faced plenty of adversity lately while dropping six of their last eight contests. Their most recent stumble saw Milwaukee playing without any of its starting five, resulting in a 127-119 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night. Jordan Nwora led the way for the Bucks with 24 points, adding six rebounds, two assists and one steal. Jeff Teague provided 19 points, six assists, two rebounds and one steal. Bryn Forbes supplied 18 points, three rebounds and two assists. Sam Merrill contributed 13 points, six rebounds and two assists, while Thanasis Antetokounmpo registered 12 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal.

The Bucks will list Jrue Holiday (knee), Donte DiVincenzo (hip), Khris Middleton (knee) and Brook Lopez (back) as probable. Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will carry a doubtful tag, while P.J. Tucker (calf) is likely to be listed as no better than questionable.

The Magic (17-35) have been struggling to find wins in their own right recently, as they've dropped four straight games and six of their last eight overall. Their most recent loss also came Friday night, when they fell to the Indiana Pacers by a 111-106 score. Terrence Ross paced the Magic with 24 points, complementing them with four rebounds, one assist and one block. Mo Bamba and James Ennis generated matching 14-point tallies while pulling down six and five rebounds, respectively. Michael Carter-Williams delivered nine points, three assists and two rebounds.

The Magic will list Chuma Okeke (hip) and Bamba (hip) as questionable for Sunday's game. Otto Porter (foot) will remain out.

Sunday's game marks the second of three meetings between the teams this season. The Bucks hold a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 121-99 win Jan. 11.
