After missing Monday’s loss, Milwaukee F Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and G Damian Lillard (groin) are being listed as questionable for this game. The Hornets have really struggled to score with leading scorer LaMelo Ball sidelined. Take the Bucks to win and cover on the road. Final Score Prediction, Milwaukee Bucks win 118-99.
