Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Dec 22 vs Charlotte Hornets

Finale

It would do the Bucks a lot of good to take care of business against the Hornets in games on Friday and Saturday night, effectively seeing them undo their three-game losing streak from last week before heading into a couple of days off for the holidays.

Still, the Bucks will need to take the threat posed by the Hornets very seriously if they are to successfully navigate this back-to-back.

The Bucks have split the season series with the Hornets to date, proving that Charlotte are more than capable of springing the upset, even though the Bucks are now equipped with Eric Bledsoe since these two teams last met.
