CHA vs MIL Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Charlotte Hornets vs Milwaukee Bucks

CHA vs MIL Dream11:With the COVID-19 again baring its fangs, the NBA has had to become more flexible in terms of quarantine rules and signing of players on ten-day deals. This means a couple of things. First, it has been among a few major leagues that have kept going on and have fielded around 99% of its games since the Omicron outbreak, and secondly, a lot of players have hit the floor this season at different times for different teams. And at times, the same players have played for different teams over the course of the season.

Anyway, here, the Charlotte Hornets will host the Milwaukee Bucks in a classic Eastern Conference battle. Bucks have 11 more wins than losses and well as defending champions, this is barely a surprise. On the other hand, the Hornets follow a trail of win, loss, win, loss these days and have been unable to strike a big winning streak, sitting with 20 wins and 19 losses.

The Bucks have a ton of players in protocols and all their major guards in Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, Donte DiVincenzo, and Pat Connaughton were sidelined during the last game, and still, the team beat a James Harden and Kevin Durant laced Brooklyn Nets. How so? Well, as long as you have Antetokounmpo in the mix along with Middleton and Portis in the frontline, you can take away games.

Hornets are a high-scoring unit and have clinched high totals throughout the season. Their defense hasn’t been the most prolific and has held the back. The Hornets can study the case of the Grizzlies, who were scoring high numbers like them but were not defending well earlier in the season, however, they have become a superb defensive unit recently. Can the Hornets fix their flailing defense?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Match-ups
In this game, the Hornets can face a lot of trouble stopping the frontline of the Bucks. Giannis, Middleton, and Portis are all lengthy, athletic, versatile offensively, and can finish in fastbreak and halfcourt situations alike. The Hornets have no one who can match up against them on the defensive end, and they neither have the size nor the athleticism to keep up with these three. So, this is an area where I give the Bucks an overwhelming edge and a decisive edge. The frontcourt of the Bucks can also give trouble on the frontline, and the team can scrap out rebounds and limit the Hornets’ wing position and the virtually non-existent big Forward position compared to the Bucks but yes Bridges and Hayward are big-time scorers at the wing.

One area where Hornets have the edge is the backcourt. Terry Rozier, Kelly Oubre Jr., and LaMelon Ball are going to have a significant edge over the watered-down Bucks’ guard position. In terms of shooting and playmaking, this is an area where the Hornets can claim a lot of advantage. In terms of bench, the Hornets have a considerable edge since many main players are out for the Bucks. Still, with Giannis, Middleton, and Portis up-front, the team can dilute multiple match-up advantages. This is the percentage-wise match-up scenario in my humble opinion:

Frontline:
Middleton+Antetokounmpo+Portis(Bucks) vs Bridges+Hayward+Plumlee(Hornets):
Bucks: 67%    Hornets 33%

Backcourt
Ball+Rozier(Hornets) vs Matthews+Nwora(Bucks)
Hornets: 72%     Bucks 28%

Bench
Hornets 71%     Bucks 29%

Overall:
Bucks 56%     Hornets 44%
The Antetokounmpo factor gives the Bucks an edge.
