I'm really not sure on this one.....If they play like they did on Sunday, the Hornets will win by 15. But if the Bucks show up they should win.....I'm gonna predict they lose this one Hornets 101 Bucks 96
cant under-estimate the hornets, they can be really tough... if the bucks play their heart out they would win, 95-91 bucks win
