Milwaukee Bucks
In what has been an otherwise pristine season the Bucks are dealing with their first true adversity this year. Still, losing two games in a row and three in a row on the road isn’t particularly egregious. Moreso, it points to how dominant the Bucks have been this season.

Perhaps teams are finally figuring out how to address Milwaukee defensively or it might simply be the squad just tiring of the regular season as they set their sites on a deep playoff run.

Each of Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, and Eric Bledsoe are experiencing a drop off in perimeter shooting but other Bucks such as Pat Connaughton (4-4) and Tony Snell (2-3) stepped up to help in this regard in the last outing.
Sterling Brown (right wrist soreness) remains out with no definitive return date. George Hill (left groin strain) is not expected to return until the latter part of March.
New Orleans Pelicans
Anthony Davis is on a limited per game usage as the team abides by the NBA mandated rules of having to play the star while also trying to err on the side of caution to get the star to the offseason healthy so they can open up the AD sweepstakes.
Alvin Gentry is being forced to utilize a ragtag lineup but it’s affording him opportunities to gauge the potential of the roster. Elfrid Payton rose up Sunday collecting a triple-double (15 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds) while Frank Jackson and Julius Randle each scored 23 points.

Jrue Holiday has stepped up playing well and with class in this situation but he’s expected to miss the game dealing with a lower-abdominal strain.
E’Twaun Moore (left quadriceps contusion) will also be out until month end. Jason Smith (sore left knee) and Trevon Bluiett (right thumb surgery) have no definitive return dates.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Pelicans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 head to head contests.
- Pelicans are 6-3-1 in last 10 head to head meetings.
- The over-under is 8-2 in team’s last 10 head to head matchups
Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. New Orleans Pelicans NBA Prediction:
Without Holiday and Moore out plus Davis on minute restrictions, the Bucks will get what should be an easy win. Moreover, the Pelicans rank 22nd on perimeter defense and without key defenders in the mix Milwaukee should be able to light up the Pelicans from deep.
