Orlando Magic Form
Orlando go into this NBA Cup quarter-final clash on the back of a win but having dropped two of the last four.
The Magic responded to a five-game skid in early November with a six-game win streak, and then responded to a 104-93 defeat to the LA Clippers with a six-game winning run.
Those two streaks featured three cup wins that meant their 121-106 defeat to New York did not eliminate them from the competition.
Orlando rebounded from that loss with a 106-102 victory in Philadelphia, only to then lose the second meeting with the 76ers, 102-94.
The Magic bounced back at the first attempt though, as they returned home on Sunday to beat Phoenix 115-110.
Milwaukee Bucks Form
Milwaukee return home looking to follow up the weekend win in Brooklyn, which was their eighth victory in their last 10 games.
The Bucks started the season slowly, but hit a rich vein of form in the second half of November as they sparked a seven-game streak with a 101-100 win against Houston.
They followed that up with home wins over Chicago, 122-106, Indiana, 129-117 and Charlotte, 125-119, before heading to Miami to beat the Heat 106-103.
Milwaukee then beat Washington 124-114 at home and Detroit 128-107 on the road, before seeing their streak finally end with a 119-104 defeat to Atlanta.
It became back-to-back defeats for the Bucks as they then lost 111-105 in Boston, but they did rebound on Sunday with a 118-113 victory in Brooklyn.
