Milwaukee at Charlotte

Premium Pick

Charlotte has another new coach in James Borrego, who comes over from San Antonio where he was an assistant, and the Hornets once again will try to retool for what hopes to be a playoff run. Milwaukee also has a new coach in Mike Budenholzer, who faced a similar situation with the Atlanta Hawks. Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee in points (26.9 per game) and rebounds (10.0) and shot 52.9 percent from the floor, but the main question is whether he'll get much help from his teammates, especially the bench. The Hornets, of course, are depending on Kemba Walker to carry them even though he has been mentioned in trade rumors. The Bucks finished last season with an 0-5 ATS their last five road contests and 2-6 ATS versus Eastern Conference teams. The home team is 4-0-1 ATS the last five meetings. Charlotte is a small underdog in this matchup, but it gets the nod playing at home. Take the Hornets.
