Can The Milwaukee Bucks Cover The Pointspread?
The Milwaukee Bucks have the NBA’s third-best offense, scoring 112.1 points per game, and they’ll face the league’s worst defense in Charlotte, which allows 116.3 points per game.The Milwaukee Bucks have a 7-3 record in their last 10 meetings with the Charlotte Hornets, despite losing on Saturday. If Antetokounmpo can acquire more offense from someone like Jordan Nwora, who scored three points on Saturday, the Bucks should be just fine.
Will The Charlotte Hornets Cover The Spread?
After the All-Star break, Holiday will only have to focus on Antetokounmpo and Middleton. While the pair caused a lot of mayhem Saturday, the Hornets were fortunate that the rest of the Bucks were cold shooting. Milwaukee will have a better offensive performance in Monday’s game, especially owing to the return of some players. That said, if the Hornets can keep Milwaukee below 110 points, they’ve got a good chance.
