The Charlotte Hornets are as healthy as they’ve been all season, and they’re starting to pile up the wins, which includes beating these Bucks on Saturday. The Milwaukee Bucks are still without a rotation player or two, and they’ve been shaky at best over the last week. With all that said, the Bucks are still the better team here, and it’s not often we get them at lines this short. It’s also not easy to beat the better team twice in a few days. I’ll lay the bucket with the Bucks.
