With Holiday and Giannis expected to be out, I love Brook Lopez to hit this number. I took Lopez's over on Saturday's edition of the Early Edge, and I am taking it again for this afternoon's show as well. Lopez has hit this number in 6 of his last 7 games, and very well may blow by it tonight.

This has dropped from an open of -7.5 with Giannis and Jrue Holiday ruled out -- bit surprised the Bucks are even still favored. Against previous Orlando teams, Milwaukee would still win easily. However, the current Magic are definitely on the rise and I expect to be a playoff team next season. Orlando has lost 13 straight regular-season meetings vs. Milwaukee so will be duly motivated even without the Greek Freak.
