Let’s not be fooled by the fact that Milwaukee is coming off two straight wins. One was against the Raptors and another against Detroit in overtime; two of the weakest sets on the race track. But the only truth is that Doc Rivers’ people have a hard time winning.
We’ll see if they can do it tonight against the Hornets, who, despite just suffering two straight losses, are above them in the Eastern Conference standings.

Last minute for the Hornets: injuries and form
Failing against the current 76ers (without Embiid) and forfeiting in overtime against Orlando (who, it must be admitted, knew how to regroup without Banchero and rattled off five wins in a row) are not the best omens for the matchup With the Bucks, with Giannis, they will always be dangerous.
Miles Bridges, who was in doubt until the last minute, will finally be in the game, so Charles Lee will be able to field a quintet close to the Gala Five (they lack the center).
Player to Watch: LaMelo Ball
We know that he performs like an all-star. The question now is whether he will make it to the All-NBA level. Because LaMelo is pure confetti and fireworks on offense. There’s something different behind it. Only his basic and advanced defensive stats hold him back from greatness for now. But his offensive numbers are serious: 29.9 points, 6.3 assists, 1.4 steals and nearly 38% on triples on a wild number of attempts per game (13).
His odds can (and should) improve, even if it comes at the price of sacrificing shots and looking more at his unmarked teammate (6.3 is a few basket passes for one). Playmaker his caliber). As long as he stays healthy and at this pace, we are more than satisfied for the time being.
Latest news for the Bucks: Injuries and form
Neither Dame Lillard nor Khris Middleton, and it’s been a long time since Brook López was the All-Star and defensive anchor he was when Wisconsin became NBA champions in 2021.
Let’s start by saying it without shouting it, but with a clear voice: The current Bucks are no match, not for contenders, but even for a solid playoff team. Many things need to change on the Rivers board if they are to be taken seriously first of Giannis will not be marred by the competitive mediocrity they appear to be heading toward over the last two campaigns, despite the strong acquisition of a top-notch point guard like Damian Lilard.
Player to Watch: Giannis Antetokounmpo
59 points result from the rating. 59. All of them are absolutely necessary to beat Detroit in overtime. In one of the worst starts to the season since his draft selection, Anteto goes against the tide as best he can and puts up some of the best numbers of his career, such as his average of 33.3 points (offensive record in RS). , which he has 12 rebounds and 5.5 assists.
Without Middleton and Lillard, it’s basically him against the world.
Of course, don’t even look at the triple (less than one attempt per game, the lowest since his sophomore year (14-15).
Mavericks vs. Bucks: Matchup History
129 face to face in the regular phase. The games were pretty even (69-60 for Milwaukee). Another thing is the current series, in which the Hornets have become one of the best toys in the hands of Giannis and Co. They have won seven of their last eight meetings.
Hornets vs. Bucks predictions
Keep pulling on the car. Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging just 21 points against the Hornets (which isn’t bad), but lately that number has been close to thirty. It comes from a monstrous night that also served to achieve an important emotional victory, which can be a sufficient source of motivation for a usually over-motivated player. Plus, Charlotte’s painting isn’t the best, and the Greek can charge into her like a bison.
Protect the ball!. When it comes to ball control, they are the fourth-to-last team. The Hornets commit nearly 17 turnovers per game, with LaMelo responsible for 4.5 of them. Almost a third. It’s not that the Bucks are the kings of interceptions, but the game promises to be close and can escape based on details like this.
Waiting for Miller. “Second parts were never good”fits in with Brandon Miller starting as a sophomore player for now. After a great rookie year in which he appeared at times ready to compete with Wemby and Holmgren for the ROY, he has had an up and down game so far this season. He was held to eight points against Orlando after scoring 22 against Philly and 29 against Indiana. Is Lime playing today?
