Bucks vs Hornets NBA Preview
Unfortunately for the Hornets, the injury bug has struck again this season, as they will play without LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller once again in tonight's matchup against the Bucks.
However, their absences have also opened up opportunities for Knueppel and the rookie has taken advantage.
The fourth overall pick is averaging 16.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, and three assists per game this season.
He is also the first rookie with 150+ points and 30+ rebounds through the first 10 games of his career.
Bucks vs Hornets Prediction, Betting Analysis
Tonight, the Hornets will host the Bucks, and Knueppel has a great matchup.
Against small forwards, Milwaukee is allowing the most points, sixth-most rebounds, and eight-most assists.
Combined, they are allowing the most PRA to small forwards at 43.5 per game.
Since Ball has missed the last four games, Knueppel has had at least 34 PRA in all four games averaging per 37 per game.
He has played 78 minutes combined in his last two games, so he should have ample opportunity.
You can also back him for 34+ PRA at +240 on Fanatics.
