What to Know

The Bucks have enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will square off against the Charlotte Hornets at 3:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Spectrum Center. The Hornets took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on the Bucks, who come in off a win.

The Bucks are headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They walked away with a 127-120 victory over the Pistons on Wednesday. The win was all the more spectacular given Milwaukee was down by 18 with 11:08 left in the third quarter.

Giannis Antetokounmpo continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, dropping a double-double on 59 points and 14 rebounds. He has been hot recently, having also posted two or more blocks the last four times he’s played. Another player making a difference was Brook Lopez, who scored 29 points in addition to eight rebounds and five blocks.

Meanwhile, the Hornets traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road hasn’t gotten any smoother so far this season. They suffered a painful 114-89 loss at the hands of the Magic on Tuesday. The game marked Charlotte’s lowest-scoring contest so far this season.

The Hornets’ defeat shouldn’t obscure the performances of LaMelo Ball, who earned 35 points along with seven assists and six rebounds, and Moussa Diabate, who dropped a double-double on 12 points and 15 rebounds. Ball’s evening made it four games in a row in which he has scored at least 30 points.

Milwaukee’s victory bumped their record up to 4-8. As for Charlotte, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-7.

The Bucks were able to grind out a solid win over the Hornets when the teams last played back in February, winning 111-99. Will the Bucks repeat their success, or do the Hornets have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.
