Milwaukee Bucks vs Charlotte Hornets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 11, 2026

Charlotte's recent run—averaging 111.4 points while holding opponents to 110.7—suggested a team hitting stride on both ends. Milwaukee arrived in Charlotte having surrendered 117.5 per game over its last ten, a liability that looked vulnerable. Instead, both teams leaned hard into the defensive side, combining for just 195 points and landing well below the 222.5 market total in a 105–90 Hornets victory.

The first quarter set a grinding tone, with the teams combining for 55 points before the game slowed considerably. Charlotte's 29 points to Milwaukee's 26 in the opening frame proved to be the game's most offensive outburst; the second half combined for just 90 points as both defenses tightened. The second quarter was even more austere at 50 combined points, and the momentum never shifted. Brandon Miller led Charlotte with 18 points and 4 assists, while Naz Reid added 16 points off the bench. For Milwaukee, Tyler Herro paced the offense with 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, but support was thin—Kyle Kuzma and Ryan Rollins each scored 12 points as the Bucks' attack stalled. The halves told the story cleanly: a 105-combined first half gave way to just 90 in the second, a 15-point differential that confirmed what the scoreboard already showed—a night when shot-making and rhythm evaporated. DAGGER leaned under on the number, and it cashed decisively, with the final total arriving 27.5 points below the close of 223.5.
