Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview 

The Milwaukee Bucks have been in fine form as they’ve won seven of their first 11 games and they will be eager to keep it going after sneaking past the struggling Mavericks in a 116-114 road win on Monday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 30 points, eight rebounds and six assists, Kyle Kuzma added 26 points on 10 of 17 shooting off the bench while Ryan Rollins chipped in with 13 points and eight assists. As a team, the Bucks shot 45 percent from the field and 14 of 36 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going and looked to be in trouble when they trailed by 13 points early in the fourth quarter. Before they outscored the Mavericks by 37-22 in the final 10:12 to escape with the narrow win after the Mavericks missed the potential game-tying free throws with just 1.2 seconds left on the clock.

Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have been cold lately as they’ve dropped six of their last seven games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a fourth straight defeat after getting beaten by the Lakers in a 121-111 loss on Monday. Miles Bridges led the team with 34 points, eight rebounds and five assists, Kon Knueppel added 19 points with 10 rebounds and nine assists while Collin Sexton chipped in with 13 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Hornets shot 52 percent from the field and 17 of 36 from the 3-point line as they led for most of the contest. Until they went ice-cold and got outscored by 31-15 in the third quarter to trail by as many as 18 points.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

The Bucks are still missing Taurean Prince and they are keeping an eye on Giannis Antetokounmpo who is questionable for this one, while the Hornets are still missing LaMelo Ball, Josh Green and Grant Williams. The Bucks are still favorites on the road despite the injury cloud hanging over Antetokounmpo as the Hornets are still the more banged up team with so many key players on the sidelines. The Hornets would’ve taken some positives from their loss to the Lakers in their last outing, but I am still not backing them unless we get more help from the bookies. With the line so short, I will stick with a shorthanded Bucks squad to get the job done in this one.
