Two Southeast Division teams, the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat, are expected to complicate the Milwaukee Bucks' intentions of challenging Boston in the Eastern Conference.
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks' 2024-25 competition in the NBA's Eastern Conference should be packed.
The Orlando Magic were one of the league’s surprises in 2023-24 after finishing 47-35 and atop of the Southeast Division for the first time since 2018-19. And they should only get better. Led by 21-year-old All-Star Paolo Banchero, who averaged 27 points in his first postseason, the Magic have found their star of the future.
Terry Rozier aka "Scary Terry" is a wild card as he returns from a neck injury that sidelined him for last postseason. Outside of that trio, the Heat will lean on solid play from Tyler Herro, Jamie Jaquez Jr., and three-point specialist Duncan Robinson.Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young points to a teammate against the Charlotte Hornets during the first half at State Farm Arena.
The first question to answer is the health of 23-year-old star LaMelo Ball, who has played only 58 of 164 possible games the past two seasons. When he plays, the 6-foot-7 point guard has been good for 24 points and eight assists a night.
