The Hornets are without their sixth man in Tre Mann and Miles Bridges, who combine for 30 points per game, which leads to the question of who steps up in their absence. Cody Martin, Josh Green, Grant Williams, and Seth Curry are all guys who need to have solid performances to have a chance in this game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was called for another controversial foul late in game, but this time Bucks lose 115-114 to Hornets.
