Milwaukee Bucks vs Charlotte Hornets prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks obviously have the ability to blow the doors off here, but they’re also 24-34-1 ATS on the season. I’m just not eager to back the Bucks in the big favorite role. It also doesn’t hurt that the Charlotte Hornets have been able to sprinkle in some wins here and there recently and have covered 7 of their last 10 games. At home, the Hornets should be up for this game. This is a lot of points for a Bucks team that doesn’t cover numbers. Give me the Hornets and the free points.
