Milwaukee at Charlotte

Charlotte plays stiff defense, on a 2-0 run UNDER the total allowing 90 and 87 points. They hold opponents under 100 points per game for the season and face a Milwaukee team that can't shoot, 22nd in points scored (97.9 points per game). The UNDER is 13-6 when the Bucks are on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Milwaukee coach Jason Kidd was frustrated with the team's defense two games ago and got suspended after slapping the ball away from a referee and failing to leave the court in a timely manner during a fourth-quarter outburst. He's back this game and the players intend to step it up defensively. Charlotte is 7-2 at home and on a 9-4 run UNDER the total at home, as well as 11-5-3 UNDER against the Eastern Conference. Charlotte is off a 95-90 home loss to Cleveland and is 10-3-1 UNDER following a loss. Play this one UNDER the total.
