The Charlotte Hornets host the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night as part of the NBA regular season. For the Hornets, this is their 7th game of the season in their Spectrum Center, where they currently have a balanced record of 3 wins for 3 losses. After a good start to the season (2 successes after 4 matches), it has been more complicated for 3 good weeks for the North Carolina franchise, which has lost 5 times in the last 7 matches and is only at 11th in the Eastern Conference. Despite the sparkling form of its playmaker LaMelo Ball, who averages 29.9 points this season (4th best scorer in the NBA), Charles Lee’s team is struggling to win matches, the absences of Miles Bridges ( almost 15 pts on average) and Nick Richards (his best rebounder with 10 catches per game) making himself cruelly felt.
Just behind Charlotte in the Eastern standings, Milwaukee can move past its evening opponent in the event of a victory. Very disappointing since the launch of the 2024-2025 financial year with a record of 4 wins for 8 losses, the Bucks have just had two consecutive victories for the first time this season (Toronto and Detroit at home). This renewed form must now be confirmed outside, where the impressive Giannis Antetokounmpo, top scorer (33.3 pts) and 5th best rebounder (12.1 rebounds) in the entire NBA, and his partners have not won only 1 time in 6 matches.
