The Milwaukee Bucks and the Charlotte Hornets duke it out at the Spectrum Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Bucks vs Hornets Prediction.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks have been heating up lately as they've won five of their last seven games overall and they will be aiming for a fourth straight win after blowing past the Hornets in a 123-85 home win on Tuesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 24 points on eight of 13 shooting, Damian Lillard added 23 points with nine rebounds and seven assists while Bobby Portis chipped in with 21 points on nine of 16 shooting off the bench. As a team, the Bucks shot 51 percent from the field and 16 of 40 from the 3-point line as they dominated right from the start, outscoring the Hornets by 58-26 in the first half, allowing them to rest all of their starters early. The Bucks will meet the Bulls, Clippers, and Warriors after this one.

Charlotte Hornets

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets were on a great run as they had won five games out of six before they got steamrolled by the Bucks on Tuesday. Miles Bridges led the team in scoring with 17 points, Terance Mann added 16 points while Brandon Miller chipped in with 14 points, but the Hornets struggled mightily in this one and trailed by as many as 49 points in their worst loss of the season. Seth Curry shot just one of six for his eight points, while Cody Martin finished with just two points on one of seven shooting. The Hornets will meet the 76ers, Raptors, and Magic after this one.

Bucks vs Hornets Prediction

The Bucks are still missing Khris Middleton and Andre Jackson Jr, while the Hornets are coming into this one with a full squad. The Bucks haven't been as consistent as they usually are, but they on a run at the moment and they looked dominant in their big win on Tuesday. The Hornets looked great before Tuesday's big loss to the Bucks, but I can't imagine anything but a similar result here as the Bucks get the easy win once again.
