Hornets Look To Extend Streak In Milwaukee
The Charlotte Hornets go for their third straight win as they travel to Milwaukee to face the Bucks at the Fiserv Forum. Since a five-game losing streak, the Hornets have won four of the last six games but have lost two in a row away from home.
Their 15-36 record has them at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and they trail Southwest Division-leading Miami by 13 games in the standings. In their last matchup, the Hornets beat the Heat 122-117 at home on Sunday.
The Bucks have been dominating opponents recently during the current winning streak, averaging 133.5 points per game during the four-game stretch. They have a three-game lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Central Division standings and are second in the Eastern Conference by 2.5 games behind the Boston Celtics. On Sunday, the Bucks handed the New Orleans Hornets their eighth straight loss as Giannis Antetokounmpo torched them for 50 points in the 135-110 blowout.

Pelicans Hope To End Season-Long Streak In Denver

However, they’re still third in the Southwest Division standings, 6.5 games behind the Memphis Grizzlies. Zion Williamson is still out of action for New Orleans with a hamstring injury and will be re-evaluated in a week.
The Nuggets are the top team in the Western Conference with a 34-16 record and lead the Memphis Grizzlies by two games. They’re also first in the Northwest Division by 8.5 games over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
