The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the New Orleans Pelicans by 23 points at home in early January. There’s a good chance that history will repeat itself, as the Pelicans have been too shaky so far. The Bucks probably won’t be able to put up much of a fight.
The Pelicans have no choice but to run forward and look for happiness under the basket. Against the Bucks, the Pelicans have every chance to play an entertaining game. The Bucks have been paying a lot of attention to their offensive play of late, so we think the game will be a high-scoring one.
The Milwaukee Bucks have made good progress in recent games, which suggests that Budenholzer’s team is in good form. Khris Middleton returned to the squad and things picked up immediately. The Wisconsin club have lost only one meeting in their last six fixtures.
In the last winning game against the Indiana Pacers, the Bucks scored 141 points and Antetokounmpo was unquestionably the best player on his team with 41 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists.
The Milwaukee Bucks have 32 wins and 17 losses in 49 games played. At the moment, that win-loss ratio gives them a chance to move into third place in the East. The Milwaukee Bucks have beaten the New Orleans Pelicans in three of their last four games.
The Milwaukee Bucks have won eight of their last ten games at home.
The New Orleans Pelicans continue to lose one game after another and already have seven losses in a row. They have to find a way to get out of this mess, but it’s unclear how. The team is completely trashed and it will be very difficult to get back into the game in the near future.
The Louisiana club lost by a wide margin to the Washington Wizards in their last game. Ingram and McCollum combined for only 46 points, certainly not enough for a victory.
The Pelicans currently sit fifth in the Western Conference with 26 wins against 24 losses. The last time the Louisiana club defeated the Milwaukee Bucks was three head-to-head games ago.
The New Orleans Pelicans are averaging 111.1 points per game on the road in 2023.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Milwaukee Bucks: Jrue Holiday – Grayson Allen – Pat Connaughton – Giannis Antetokounmpo – Brook Lopez.
New Orleans Pelicans: Brandon Ingram – CJ McCollum – Herbert Jones – Trey Murphy III – Jonas Valančiūnas.
Serge Ibaka (Out), Bobby Portis (Out), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Day-to-day) and AJ Green (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Milwaukee Bucks.
E.J. Liddell (Out), Zion Williamson (Out) and Dyson Daniels (Out) are injured for the New Orleans Pelicans.
The fixture will be played at Fiserv Forum (17.385) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.
