The Milwaukee Bucks will look for improved energy and a desired result when they visit the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.

The Bucks had a five-game string of 30 or more points from Giannis Antetokounmpo end when he sat out against the Thunder with what was listed as right patella tendinopathy. Damian Lillard and Brook Lopez also were out with injuries, while Bobby Portis Jr. did not play because of personal reasons.

Bilal Coulibaly pumped in 26 points and reserve Corey Kispert racked up 25 points as the visiting Washington Wizards defeated the Charlotte Hornets 124-114 on Monday night, winning back-to-back games for just the second time this season.

Carrying a rare winning streak, the Washington Wizards will look to complete a 3-for-3 road swing when they face the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday in New York.
