The Hornets are coming into this one fresh off a disappointing 114-89 loss to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Starting point guard was Lamelo Ball with 35 points, six rebounds, and seven assists. Power forward was Grant Williams with 15 points, starting small forward Brandon Miller only had eight points on 3/18 shooting.
The Charlotte Hornets have been inconsistent, losing five of their last seven overall. The Hornets enter this matchup against Milwaukee looking for a breakthrough in the current slump.

The Bucks should control the interior with Brook Lopez having his way in the paint. Giannis is once again expected to carry the load in scoring as the Hornets lack any type of tools to contain him in transition.
Bucks point guard Damian Lillard will miss his third straight game, and Power forward Bobby Portis is doubtful. Hornets small forward Miles Bridges will be sitting out due to a bone bruise.
