The Orlando Magic dominated the Bucks 130-91, as Milwaukee rested superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo in the second game of a back-to-back on Sunday night.

Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 33 points, Jalen Suggs added 20, and Desmond Bane had 18 for the Magic, after winning their fourth straight to remain sixth in the Eastern Conference.

The Magic never trailed and led 67-55 at halftime. 

Suggs hit a three-pointer to start a 12-0 run that extended the Magic’s lead to 26 points early in the fourth quarter.

Banchero headed to the bench for good late in the third with a 31-point cushion.

On the other hand, Bobby Portis had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Cam Thomas scored 17 for the Bucks.

Antetokounmpo has played in three games since he missed 15 with a calf strain. The 31-year-old has sat out 30 games this season, by far the most of his 13-year career.

They are also missing second-leading scorer Kevin Porter Jr. for a third straight game because of swelling in his right knee.

Milwaukee is 11th in the East, 4 ½ games behind 10th-place Charlotte, and faces a difficult path to reach the play-in tournament with 19 games left.

Meanwhile, Thanasis Antetokounmpo played a season-high 9 minutes and finished with four points.

Up next: the Magic host the Cavs on Wednesday, while the Bucks host the Suns on Tuesday.
