*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current, as of this writing on Thursday evening, January 5th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, January 6th.
Charlotte Hornets
In 15 games LaMelo Ball is making an impact averaging 23.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 8.1 assists, and 1.3 steals per game shooting 36.5% from deep on 11.3 attempts per game.
This is the first of a four-game road trip as the Hornets hit a road-heavy portion of their schedule where they’ll play 13 out of 18 away from home.
Charlotte ranks 25th averaging 111.3 points per game and ranks 29th in field goal percentage 44.4% and 30th for perimeter percentage shooting 32.1%.
Defensively, Charlotte is giving up an average of 118.4 points (28th). Opponents shoot 48.2 percent from the field (24th) and 35.7% from the perimeter ranking 13th overall.
Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is doubtful. Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) is out indefinitely.
Milwaukee Bucks
Entering the match on Wednesday, Giannis Antetokounmpo had been on a tear. In the seven games he appeared prior (he sat one of the two matches versus the Wizards) he’d scored 40 or more in five of the seven contests and grabbed double-digit rebounds in all but one (nine versus the Celtics.
His dominance continued in Toronto as he posted a triple-double of 30 points (half came at the line via his 21 free throws and 15 makes), 21 rebounds, and 10 assists. If you count turnovers he actually had a quadruple-double given his 12 turnovers.
It was a wild game with either team being able to score early, progressed to the Bucks possessing a 21-point lead, but Mike Budenholzer repeatedly had to reinsert Antetokounmpo because the Raptors kept fighting inevitably forcing overtime.
Opponents score the sixth-fewest points with the Bucks allowing 110.5 per game limiting opponents to (45.1%) from the field and 34.4% from deep ranking second and seventh respectively.
Offensively, the Bucks score 112.5 points per game (20th), while shooting 45.5% from the field and 34.0% from the perimeter ranking 25th and 23rd in the latter two categories.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, (knee), Jrue Holiday (illness), MarJon Beauchamp (thigh), and George Hill (illness) are probable while Khris Middleton is out.

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction:
While Milwaukee got the victory in Toronto they didn’t look great and Giannis had far too much weight on his shoulders with Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton sidelined.
He came up limping a couple of times and that has to be concerning especially the longer Middleton is out because their issue is on the offensive end of the hardwood.
While the Hornets haven’t been able to collect wins they’ve shown more fight and offensive capacity with LaMelo back which has me leading to take the points although Milwaukee likely wins.
