Hornets vs Bucks: Milwaukee is a huge favorite

The Milwaukee Bucks are hosting the Charlotte Hornets on Friday at Fiserv Forum.

The Hornets were active before the trade deadline

The Charlotte Hornets traded two starters, Gordon Hayward and PJ Washington, at the trade deadline, and after they already parted ways with Terry Rozier, their roster looks completely different now. That was expected since the Hornets are 13th in the Eastern Conference with a 10-40 record. They have lost nine consecutive games and are coming off a 123-117 loss to the Toronto Raptors. That was the second consecutive game for Miles Briges to go over 40 points, as he scored a career-high 45. Lamelo Ball is the leading scorer on the Hornets with 23.9 points per game. Charlotte is in the bottom three in the league with 108.7 points per game and 45.9% shooting from the field.

The Bucks need to step up

The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off a 129-105 home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, which is their fifth in the last six games. The Bucks are now third in the Eastern Conference with a 33-19 record. 6.5 wins behind the leading Boston Celtics. Milwaukee is second in the league in scoring 123 points per game and second in free throw attempts per game. Giannis Antetokounmpo is among the top three candidates in the MVP race, averaging 31.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game.

Betting Trends

The Hornets are 4-14 ATS in the last 18 games, 2-11 ATS in the last 13 games against teams from the Eastern Conference and 0-8 ATS in the last 8 games against teams from the Pacific Division.

Prediction and Conclusion

The Milwaukee Bucks are going through a difficult period since Doc Rivers took over the team. They have lost five of the last six games and have fallen behind the leading teams in the conference. The Hornets have been bad all season long, and after parting ways with three starters, things will not get any better any time soon. The Bucks are expecting to get Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton back after they sat out last night’s game against Minnesota. It is time for the Bucks to wake up, and Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead them to a confident win by covering the -14.5-point spread.
