The Bucks were stunned at home on Friday night by the reemerging Lakers, who became Milwaukee’s highest scoring opponent this campaign in a single game.
In a bizarre defensive performance by the second-best team in the Eastern Conference behind the Celtics, the Bucks allowed Los Angeles’ Quintana Roo to score more than 30 points in each of the four quarters of the game.
It should be noted that the Bucks are the third team in the league that has the lowest average in points conceded to the opponents with just 107.4That number was far exceeded on Friday, when they allowed one of the worst teams to shoot 42.3% from long distance.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was again the man of the match on offense, scoring 40 points, while Jrue Holiday contributed with 28 more for the Bucks. The Busck start a four of five games away from home stretch against Charlotte.
Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Regular season record: 7-15.
- Spread: +6.5
- BetMGM Moneyline: +195
- Over/Under: U 224.5
The Hornets seem to be showing some signs of improvement, as they have won three of their last four games, including a very important one against the Wizards at home, with three players scoring over 20 points.
Although they almost squandered a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Charlotte team managed to score one of its highest point totals of the season thanks to an excellent 41.4% shooting from long distance. This was a figure that is more than impressive, as they are second to last in the circuit with only 32% success rate.
With an average of 109.2 points per game, the Hornets rank fifth-worst in the league, so this type of game suggests that a team from which was expected to do much more this campaign and is among the three worst in the East might be awakening.
Another problem for Charlotte is that, in addition to not scoring many points, the 115.4 points it concedes is the eighth highest figure in the NBA, and it also allows an average of 46.0 rebounds to its opponents, the fourth highest in the league.
