Update (Aug. 28, 5:50 p.m. ET): The playoffs, which the NBA boycotted in the wake of the Jacob Blake shooting, will resume on Saturday. Game 5 between the Magic and Bucks will be broadcast on ESPN at 3:30 p.m. ET.

In Game 5, Giannis Antetokounmpo could lead Milwaukee to a series victory. The Bucks lead Orlando 3-1 heading into this crucial game, and the top seed is favored to advance to the semifinals.

The Magic won Game 1 with a valiant effort, but are dealing with a number of injuries, including a torn ACL in Jonathan Isaac, a meal in Michael Carter-Williams, and a COVID evaluation in Mo Bama. Melvin Frazier Jr. and Aaron Gordon are also questionable for Round 5.

Milwaukee is the overwhelming favorite. The Bucks woke up after the Game 1 loss and have revived their No. 1 ranked defense. In their last three games, they have allowed only 0.99 points per possession. Offensively, Chris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe, and Brook Lopez have contributed significantly, with Janis averaging 31.3 points and 15.8 rebounds.

The injured Magic will struggle against top-seeded opponents, but they will not go down without a fight, thanks to the excellent playoff performances of Nikola Vucevic and others.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We tested a variety of services and chose ExpressVPN as the best VPN overall. They offer great speed and excellent customer service. However, there are other VPN options out there. Here are our top picks.
