Spread & Over/Under Predictions for Hornets at Bucks

Can the Hornets cover the spread?

Each game day, we at All Hornets will release an article on our thoughts on the spread and the over/under of Charlotte Hornets games. The star ratings next to the play describe the overall confidence in that particular play.

Star ratings:

1 Star - Not very confident

2 Star - A little confident

3 Star - Fairly confident

4 Star - Very confident

5 Star - Should be a lock to happen

Spread: Bucks -14.5

3 Star Play on Bucks (-14.5): The Bucks are second in the league in scoring and are back home after a two-game road win streak against playoff teams, and they have already beaten the Hornets by 30+ twice this year. While I think the Hornets can keep it closer than 30 points, after struggling to score against Portland, it won't get easier playing a high-scoring Bucks team at their home. 

Over/Under: 220.5 

2 Star Play on Under 220.5: Charlotte's defense has improved greatly since the trade deadline, but the offense has struggled to score past two games. That combo of good team defense and low-scoring offense makes me think this under is more likely. There is always a chance the Bucks run it up, and their defense keeps Charlotte in it, but I see Charlotte's scoring troubles continue, which is why I lean under.
