Hornets vs. Bucks Betting Prediction
The two sides are polar opposites of each other. The Bucks are one of the best teams in basketball, while the Hornets unfortunately are one of the worst. Milwaukee have been stellar at home thus far, winning 16 of their 20 games at the Fiserv Forum.
Boasting of the remarkable form that Giannis is in, they look unbeatable when he is on song. The Hornets haven’t defended well at all thus far, playing into Antetokounmpo’s hands perfectly. The Bucks could obliterate the Hornets tonight.
Bucks: -10 (-110)
