PREVIEW: The Milwaukee Bucks arrive at Spectrum Center ranked first in efficient three-point shooting and second in attacking the rim, while the Charlotte Hornets boast fourth-ranked spacing on offense. Giannis Antetokounmpo is having an elite season, averaging 33.4 points and 11.9 rebounds per game on 62.9% shooting , though his knee issue leaves his status questionable heading into tip-off. The Hornets have struggled mightily in recent contests, winning just three of their last ten games while averaging 118.2 points. Milwaukee's defensive profile includes a ranking of sixth in three-point attempts allowed, showcasing a disciplined perimeter approach. Charlotte has limited defensive options to match up with Giannis, though they managed respectable game planning against him previously by crowding his driving lanes and making him a facilitator. The Hornets will need a cold shooting night from the visitors, as Milwaukee can realistically make between 20 to 25 three-pointers on them. The hosts are ranked 27th in attacking the rim efficiency and rank last in forcing turnovers, which could prove problematic against a Bucks team that ranks seventh in low turnover rate. Milwaukee has dominated this matchup recently, claiming victories in both of their last meetings, including a 125-119 win at home and a 112-102 victory in Charlotte.
