ALL-TIME SERIES:
Milwaukee leads 14-3

Milwaukee closes out it’s only home/road back-to-back set against the same opponent this season tonight as they bring their 3-0 record against Charlotte into the tilt.

The Bucks have won the last five meetings between the two clubs, with all but Friday night’s win coming by five points or less. Milwaukee has now taken the season series against Charlotte four times in the last five seasons (tied 2-2 in 2006-07).

Charlotte has gone 4-4 over their last eight games, but they’ve lost their last two games at home and three of the last four in Charlotte coming into tonight’s contest.
