This is an 8* PLAY on the UNDER Hornets/Bucks.

The 13-10 Hornets are the highest scoring team in the league. They average 114.4 PPG.

The Bucks aren't too far behind (109.9), after being the highest-scoring team in the league last season.

I believe this total is a little TOO high though here. The Bucks are off a 118-100 win at Indianapolis, their second straight high-scoring road victory. And that's significant, as Milwaukee has seen the total go UNDER the number in nine of its last 12 after back-to-back SU road wins in which the total soared OVER the posted number in.

Charlotte is off three straight high-scoring OVERS, including back-to-back losses to the Rockets and Bulls. With three whole nights off before a game at Atlanta, focus could be a major concern for the Hornets this evening.

I expect some defense to be played here. This number is just a little high.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
