The squad will miss the presence of Gordon who has made a name as a monstrous dunking machine in the league. The forward averages 14.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists this season. His all-round play and basketball IQ in general has been instrumental in getting Magic this far, and the team would hope he gets fit in the nick of time in order to upset the Bucks tonight as well.

The Magic take on the Bucks in game 2 of the series tonight. The Bucks looked abysmal in the first game as all-star Khris Middleton failed to support reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Bucks haven’t looked like their true self in the bubble so far. With a victory tonight for the Magic, the Bucks might end up in a deeper hole than anyone might have expected.
