Bobby Portis has averaged 22.7 PTS in the 6 games Giannis hasn’t played this season. All off the bench.
After being thrown into the starting lineup tonight, he’s on pace for 48! He’s got 24 on 11/15 FGs at half. – 9:07 PM

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Should this big Dallas lead hold and this big Cavs late lead over Memphis hold up, it looks like the only way Heat can avoid play-in is if Heat beats Toronto twice, Orlando loses out and 76ers lose at home to Nets Sunday. Magic down 14 to Bucks at half. – 9:06 PM

Half: Bucks 64, Magic 50
– Portis 24pts/4reb/2ast
– Lillard 14pts/4reb/5ast
– Lopez 10pts/2reb
– Crowder 9pts/2reb – 9:06 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
With 3:30 left in the first half, the Bucks lead, 53-43.
Bobby Portis has 20 points and four rebounds to lead the Bucks, while Jae Crowder has added nine points off the bench. – 8:59 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Looked like Jae Crowder hit Jalen Suggs with no call on that corner 3. And Suggs was not pleased.
Just got a technical for his complaint. – 8:56 PM

Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
The big difference right now:
Magic: 10 turnovers – 16 Bucks points
Bucks: 2 turnovers – 0 Magic points
When the @OrlandoMagic have been at their best this season, their defense has fueled their offense. – 8:55 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The Magic have committed nine turnovers tonight and the Bucks are taking full advantage. 14 points off turnovers for Milwaukee and the Bucks lead, 46-35, with 6:52 left in the first half. – 8:49 PM

Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
Bobby Portis is having himself a night.
He’s 9-for-12 from the field and has 20 points early in the 2nd quarter. – 8:47 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Another night where Bobby Portis has caught fire early.
He has 20 points in 11 minutes tonight. – 8:46 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Mo Wagner just gave Pat Connaughton a strong foul on the fastbreak, but Connaughton finished through contact.
After a review, it’s only a common foul. – 8:45 PM

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
imagine getting shot into the play-in by Bobby Portis – 8:44 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Man, the Pats, Beverley and Connaughton, have been putting in work on the offensive glass tonight.
Just got Bobby Portis a reload corner 3 and Portis is up to 15pts/3reb. – 8:42 PM

Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
End 1Q: Bucks 27, Magic 23
Cole Anthony, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. all have 5 points for the @OrlandoMagic.
Orlando has 6 turnovers that have led to 7 Milwaukee points. Limiting those will be a huge key going forward. – 8:38 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
After one quarter, the Bucks lead, 27-23.
Bobby Portis leads the Bucks with 9 points and 3 rebounds. Brook Lopez is not far behind with 8 points. The Bucks are just 3-of-11 from 3 thus far tonight. – 8:37 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Heat are down 20 to Dallas late in the first half. Look (understandably) dead so far after a 2OT game last night.
if the result holds, Sixers would control their destiny for the 7 seed (Magic are also down early to the short handed Bucks) – 8:29 PM

Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
It’s a 9-2 Bucks run and the @OrlandoMagic call timeout.
On the road, second night of a back-to-back, the Magic need their defense to fuel their offense in this one. – 8:28 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Jalen Suggs just got called for a goaltend, but that was such a wild block attempt by a guard. Wow. – 8:26 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
First three off the bench for the Bucks tonight:
Pat Connaughton, Jae Crowder and AJ Green. – 8:22 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Good work by Brook Lopez attacking Wendell Carter Jr. and the glass after his first miss to eventually draw a foul. The Bucks are up, 11-9, with 6:53 left in the first quarter.
Lopez’s fellow big man Bobby Portis leads the Bucks though with 7 points and 2 rebounds. – 8:19 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Damian Lillard gets fouled on a 3-point attempt and he scores the Bucks’ first points at the free throw line. – 8:13 PM

Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss the final three games of the regular season. More info about his status going forward: espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 7:59 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Brook Lopez, Draymond Green, Boban Marjanovic & Jahlil Okafor are names that came up when I asked players/coaches if Zach Edey’s game can translate to the NBA.
The offense is there, the defense is a concern, but good players find a way onto the court.
