Paolo Banchero has made his return to the Orlando Magic lineup Friday night after a 34-game absence due to a torn oblique muscle.

Having Banchero back in the mix gives the Magic offense a whole new set of weapons. And if he’s able to return to the form he evidenced in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign, then he should be able to keep the Magic as one of the best teams in the East as the regular season rapidly approaches its mid-point.

The Orlando Magic offense has slowed to a crawl in January, and even if Paolo Banchero plays his first game since October, the Milwaukee Bucks should win going away, per our NBA betting picks.
