The Charlotte Hornets will be going up against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday in a game between two teams that routinely give up over 100 points per game to their opponents.
These two teams opened up their seasons against each other this year, and the Hornets were able to come away with a 108-106 overtime win. Charlotte only made 40.6 percent of their shots in that game, but they also finished with a dominant 50-35 rebounding advantage.
Hornets Center Al Jefferson has averaged 14.7 points and 8.2 boards against the Bucks in his career, while veteran small forward Marvin Williams has scored 11 points per game against them in 26 career games. Point guard Kemba Walker has already played in 12 games against Milwaukee, averaging 18.3 points and 5.4 assists per game against them.
On Saturday night, the Bucks had turnover issues in their game against the Los Angeles Clippers and were defeated 106-102 on the road. They coughed the ball up 18 times in that game, which nullified their high 53.1 team field goal percentage.
Through 28 games this season, the Bucks are near the bottom of the league in scoring, point allowed and rebounding. Shooting guard Giannis Antetokounmpo has had a decent start to the season by averaging 12.3 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Center Larry Sanders is averaged a team-high 6.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in just 21.5 minutes per game.
