5. Eric Bledsoe

The playoff demons continue to haunt Eric Bledsoe and we’ll see how he reacts in the bubble. He was good against the Detroit Pistons in last year’s opening round, so it’s likely he’ll be comfortable against an overwhelmed Magic team. He may have his biggest chance for a positive impact while defending Fultz.

4. Evan Fournier

The Magic’s most dangerous offensive player, Evan Fournier has had some good offensive games against the Bucks this season. He loves to work off the ball and understands how to leverage the threat of his great outside shot to get looks in the mid-range and around the hoop.

3. Brook Lopez

Brook Lopez was on fire in the bubble. Not only did he continue to play elite defense, he also finally rediscovered his stroke from the outside–knocking down 43.9 percent of his threes. If he can continue that in the postseason, Milwaukee’s opponents are going to be in big trouble.

2. Khris Middleton

Khris Middleton has enjoyed a breakout season after signing a massive contract with the Bucks last summer. He’s established himself as a great player and should have a huge series against the Magic, considering Orlando doesn’t have anyone who can stop him one-on-one.

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo

Antetokounmpo is in line for a big series against Orlando, even if it doesn’t mean a high scoring one. He can dominate on defense, the boards and control the game on offense by finding open teammates. This should be a good warm-up for him.
