MATCH DETAILS- Fixture: Milwaukee Bucks vs Orlando Magic Date & Time: Monday, December 9, 2019 8:00 PM ET (Tuesday, 1:00 AM GMT) Venue: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee. PREVIEW- After an ordinary start to the season, Orlando Magic have showed signs of improvement in the last few games. Although a relatively easier run of fixtures, Orlando have won their last four games. If they are to extend their winning run, they will beat a team that is on a streak of 14 consecutive wins. Last season, Eastern Conference finalists Milwaukee Bucks have had an up and down start to the season. But since them they picked up with 14 wins in a row, staying on top of the Eastern Conference by some distance. INJURY UPDATES & TEAM NEWS- Orlando Magic- Injuries: Al-Farouq Aminu (Torn meniscus)- Out, Nikola Vucevic (Ankle)- Out Expected starting line up: Aaron Gordon, Khem Birch, Evan Fournier, Markelle Fultz, Jonathan Isaac Milwaukee Bucks- Injuries: Dragan Bender (Right ankle)- Out Expected starting line up: Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Wesley Matthews, Giannis Antetokounmpo PREDICTIONS- The Bucks have been extremely dominant in the season so far. The reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/giannis-antetokounmpo/] is one of the major reasons for them to show such dominace. He is averaging 30.8 points, 13.1 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in the season so far. He has been the team’s highest scorer in 20 out of 23 games that he played and also took down the most rebounds among the team members in 22 out of the 23 games. For Orlando, Aaron Gordon seems to have found some form in the recent games. He has averaged 21 points per game in the Magic’s four-game winning streak. However, it seems highly unlikely that they will be able to stop the Bucks from winning their 15th game in a row.`

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Who is Giannis Antetokounmpo?</h2>
Giannis Antetokounmpo or the "Greek Freak" is one of those names that have spurred the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_self" rel="noopener">NBA</a> circuit in recent times. Born in Greece to Nigerian parents, Antetokounmpo began playing basketball for the youth teams of Filathlitikos, eventually playing for their senior team. Following this, the power forward declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft in 2013, where Antetokounmpo was drafted with the 15th overall pick by the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/milwaukee-bucks/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Milwaukee Bucks</a>, a team he has been playing for since then. He wears the No. 34 jersey.

Over his career, Antetokounmpo has been an NBA All-Star seven times. Giannis also won two successive MVP trophies in 2019 and 2020 to solidify his status as a star in the league. After multiple seasons of being heavily criticized for his failure to win a title, the power forward silenced his critics winning his first championship and Final MVP in 2021. In the 2023-24 season, he is continuing his top form, with the Bucks now a force to be reckoned with in the East.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Giannis Antetokounmpo's early life </h2>
Born in Athens to Nigerian immigrant parents, Charles and Veronica Antetokounmpo, in 1994, Giannis Antetokounmpo grew up in a tough environment, with his family struggling to afford the basics. He started playing basketball around age 7, finding an escape and a passion for the sport. By his mid-teens, he had left school to focus on helping provide for his family, taking odd jobs around the city.

Basketball became more than just a game for the young athlete – it was, perhaps, an opening for a better life. That once far-off dream, however, was soon realized, with Antetokounmpo's first-round selection in the 2013 NBA draft.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife and children</h2>
Giannis Antetokounmpo fathers three children with his fiancee Mariah Riddlesprigger: his two sons Liam, 4, and Maverick Shai, 2, and his new-born daughter Eva Brooke. He has four brothers, Francis, Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex. Two of his siblings are contemporaries in the league, with Kostas securing a championship in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers and Thanasis with the Bucks in 2021.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Giannis Antetokounmpo's career timeline</h2>
Drafted 15th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2013 NBA draft, Antetokounmpo was named to the NBA All-Rookie second team in his first season. Over the next few years, he quickly exceeded expectations, growing into a versatile scorer, lockdown defender, and facilitator all in an athletic 6’11” frame.

He broke out in his third season, averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game and earning the Most Improved Player award. In the 2019-20 season, the Greek had another one of his finer campaigns, putting up 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists to lead the Bucks to their best-ever record in the NBA. (56-17). 

In 2021, Giannis delivered on his promise by spearheading the Bucks to the NBA title and earning a Finals MVP title in the process. He then went on to sign one of the largest contracts in NBA history, a 5-year $228 million extension with the Bucks.

<h2>Inception: The Reindeer throws the league off-balance</h2>
Milwaukee Bucks is a franchise that operates from the city of Milwaukee, which is in the state of Wisconsin. Its home floor is the Fiserv Forum which opened in 2018 via public funding. It is a part of the Central Division that also features the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Chicago Bulls, the Indiana Pacers, and the Detroit Pistons. The franchise has been operational since 1968 and played its first NBA game in October of that year. Before the following season, because of a grueling 27-55 record, they earned the right to the first pick following a coin flip.?

On the stake was Lew Alcindor(now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), a transcendental talent who was deemed way too good for the NCAA. After winning the coin flip, the budding ABA?s New York Nets challenged them in a bidding war to bring Alcindor. But, the Bucks succeeded in bringing him into the fold. And just in his second year and the franchise?s third season, they claimed their first NBA Championship. Therefore, Milwaukee Bucks is the first expansion franchise that win a title within the first three years of its existence. Since then, it has won one more title. It happened in 2021, when Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton made one of the most brilliant runs in the history of the game. They beat the Suns in six games during the championship round.?
