The Charlotte Hornets and the Milwaukee Bucks collide at the Fiserv Forum on Saturday night. Here’s a Milwaukee Bucks vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction. This article will include a Milwaukee Bucks vs Charlotte Hornets Pick.

Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets have been in a bit of a rut as they’ve lost four of their last six games overall, but they will be feeling much better after outlasting the Pistons in a 123-121 overtime home win on Thursday. Brandon Miller led the team with 38 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, LaMelo Ball added 35 points with nine assists while Cody Martin chipped in with 15 points off the bench.

As a team, the Hornets shot 47 percent from the field and 20 of 44 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they squandered a 20-point lead, but they made up for it in overtime to avoid catastrophe in front of their home fans.

Milwaukee Bucks

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in fine form as they’ve won four of their last five games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after blowing past the Bulls in a 122-106 home win on Wednesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 41 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists, Brook Lopez added 21 points with three steals while Damian Lillard chipped in with 20 points and 10 assists.

As a team, the Bucks shot 55 percent from the field and 13 of 36 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Bulls from the start, pouring in 69 points in the first half, before they restricted the Bulls to just 16 points in the fourth quarter to pull away in the end.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

The Hornets were really struggling for form before their overtime win over the Pistons on Thursday. It was great to see big games from Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball, but it’s hard to get too excited about beating a shorthanded Pistons team who were missing their best player. The Bucks are starting to heat up now and they’ve looked particularly good over their past two games, so I am happy to back them to get the job done at home in this spot.
