The Bucks should be able to get a win on the road over the Hornets in this matchup. I'll lay the points with Milwaukee, as the return of Giannis should help the Bucks get easy baskets, while opening up scoring opportunities for their role players. Charlotte will struggle without Kon Knueppel's shooting ability and LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges won't be able to pick up all of the slack.
