Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Nov. 1 at Charlotte Hornets

The Milwaukee Bucks face the Charlotte Hornets on the second night of a back to back, hoping of a return to winning ways following a disappointing loss.

The Milwaukee Bucks return to action on Wednesday night battling against fatigue, travel and a potential hangover from a season-worst loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was as brilliant as ever in that game, but not for the first time this season, his supporting cast came up short.

As they try to bounce back to winning ways, the Bucks will square off with a Hornets team that they defeated in Milwaukee just over a week ago.

Just like the Bucks, the Hornets currently boast a record of 4-3, but coming in to this game as the much fresher team they’ll be hopeful of tying up the season series and jumping ahead of Milwaukee in the standings.

While the Hornets will have their hands full trying to contain Giannis, the Bucks may also have more than they can handle as the league’s worst rebounding team matched up against its best.

With that just one of many factors that could have a significant bearing on this game’s outcome, let’s take a closer look at some of the keys to victory for both teams.
