*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday, March 27th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, March 28th.
Milwaukee Bucks
After their six-game win streak, the Bucks have vacillated between wins and losses posting a 5-5 record through their last 10 matches.
Despite LeBron James being out of the lineup on Tuesday, the Bucks allowed the Lakers to erase a 19-point deficit.
Giannis Antetokounmpo sounded like a coach in the post-game interview citing the teams inability to get a stop on defense, the lack of ball movement particularly down the stretch and missing effort on 50-50 balls.
Bucks Stats
Milwaukee’s key categories find them ranked third offensively (118.9), and 16th defensively (115.3) with a net differential of plus +3.6 which ranks eighth overall.
Although they’ve been better lately, betting on the Bucks against the spread is a tricky proposition given their 32-40 record in that category.
Bucks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Giannis Antetokounmpo, PF (probable — hamstring)
- Khris Middleton, SG (probable — ankle)
- Patrick Beverley PG (downgraded to OUT — wrist)
- Marjon Beauchamp, SF (probable— back)
New Orleans Pelicans
In a reverse situation to the Bucks, the Pelicans erased a 20-point lead held by the Thunder but weren’t able to capture the win.
Zion Williamson continues to shine leading his club with a double-double of 29 points and 10 rebounds while CJ McCollum (23 points) and Trey Murphy III (16) were key to the comeback.
After fighting to get back in the game the Pels got cold down the stretch unable to score in the final 3:11 of the match.
Pelicans Stats
The Pelicans rank 10h on offense (117.0), and tied for fifth on defense (111.4) while posting a plus +5.6. net differential which ranks fourth overall.
New Orleans is one of the better bets against the spread with a 39-31-2 record through 71 contests.

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. New Orleans Pelicans NBA Prediction:
Both teams have 10 games remaining as Milwaukee sits second in the East holding a two-game edge over the Knicks while the Pelicans sit fifth just a game back of the Clippers and one up on the Mavericks.
The Bucks have the 12 hardest schedule to finish the season while the Pelicans have the eighth most difficult closing schedule.
Although the Bucks are favored and the Pels are missing Ingram I like their depth better and don’t trust Milwaukee’s defense.
