Current Records: Charlotte 30-32; Milwaukee 36-25
What to Know
The Milwaukee Bucks will stay at home another game and welcome the Charlotte Hornets at 8 p.m. ET Feb. 28 at Fiserv Forum. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both teams posted some lofty points totals in their previous games, so things might heat up even more when they meet Monday.
It was close but no cigar for Milwaukee as they fell 126-123 to the Brooklyn Nets this past Saturday. The losing side was boosted by center Bobby Portis, who shot 8-for-14 from downtown and finished with a double-double on 30 points and 12 boards.
Speaking of close games: the Hornets fought the good fight in their overtime contest against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 127-126. If the result catches you off guard, it should: Charlotte was far and away the favorite. Charlotte’s defeat came about despite a quality game from power forward Miles Bridges, who dropped a double-double on 29 points and ten rebounds along with five dimes. That makes it four consecutive games in which Bridges has had at least ten rebounds.
This next matchup looks promising for the Bucks, who are favored by a full 10 points. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past five games, so buyers beware.
Having both suffered close losses, these teams will no doubt be fighting for every inch to win this one. The teams are out to make things right after dropping matches they were expected to win, so stay tuned to see which squad bounces back.
