The Milwaukee Bucks look for some payback on an up-and-coming Orlando Magic team Thursday night at Fiserv Forum.

Milwaukee (20-7) is also putting its five-game winning streak on the line against Orlando (16-10), which beat the Bucks 112-97 in Florida on Nov. 11.

The Magic, led by head coach and Milwaukee native Jamahl Mosley, lost to Miami on Wednesday night.

Is Giannis playing tonight vs. Magic?

UPDATE: Giannis Antetokounmpo, who suffered a right midfoot sprain against San Antonio on Tuesday, has been upgraded to probable after Thursday's team shootaround. Antetokounmpo was initially listed as questionable on Wednesday and early Thursday. He has played in 14 straight games, which was his longest consecutive games streak since appearing in 31 in a row during the championship season of 2020-21.
