Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Dec 23 at Charlotte Hornets
By Adam McGee
Finale
Somewhat surprisingly, the Bucks have struggled in games against Eastern Conference opponents this season. To really make the most of their season, the Bucks will need to improve upon their 7-8 record against the East.
Equally, Milwaukee haven’t traveled very well so far this year, and they’ll be hoping to move their current record of 6-8 on the road closer to .500 with a win on Saturday.
If Howard and Walker prove to be unavailable or limited for Charlotte, the Bucks will become the heavy favorites. Regardless, it’s a game the Bucks should be expected to win, and the players will need to be professional to take care of business.
