Charlotte Hornets vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks are undermanned with no Lillard or Middleton, but they’ve put together their best week of the season and Antetokounmpo has picked up his level of play. The Charlotte Hornets have issues putting together 48 minutes of ball, and they’ve lost 7 of their last 10 Games. If the Bucks are serious about saving their season, these are Games they win, regardless of the injury situation. The Hornets aren’t good. I’ll lay the small number with the Bucks on the road.
