Advice and prediction
Milwaukee is coming off a loss in which New Orleans throttled them for much of the contest. Giannis Antetokounmpo still had a huge night and if there’s a play worth looking at, it’s likely something including the reigning MVP.
The Hornets, like effectively every other team in the league, don’t have an answer for Antetokounmpo. Most intriguing is over 27.5 points for Antetokounmpo one night after he scored 36.
Prediction: Bucks 110, Hornets 99
