Wednesday, December 19 finds the New Orleans Pelicans meeting up vs. the Milwaukee Bucks as they meet for the first time in the 2018-19 regular season. In their last game on Sunday the Pelicans lost the Miami Heat. The Bucks reached the 20 win mark with a win over the Pistons on Monday.
Last season, New Orleans swept the season series. The Pelicans hold the all-time record having bested the Bucks in 26 of their 35 matches.
New Orleans Pelicans
Five players scored in double-digits in the loss to the Heat with Anthony Davis leading the way producing 27 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists.
This game offers an intriguing matchup as Anthony Davis faces the Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo. Both stars are considered contenders in the Most Valuable Player award race.

I’m not sure how fair it is to put too much emphasis on this comparison, as Giannis is surrounded by a core of players who are specifically suited to him succeeding.
Davis’ Pelicans, on the other hand, have trouble putting four solid starters on the floor with AD. Coupled with all the injuries it’s not exactly an even battle.

A trio of Pelicans are nursing right ankle sprains. Ian Clark, Julius Randle and Nikola Mirotic with only Clark considered plausible to join the lineup Wednesday.
Elfrid Payton (fractured pinky finger) remains out but is expected back before month end.
Milwaukee Bucks
With the win versus Detroit, the Bucks became the fourth team in the Eastern Conference to register 20 wins. They join the Raptors, Pacers and 76ers and trail Toronto by just 1.5 games atop the East now.

Despite Blake Griffin’s triple-double Milwaukee outlasted the Pistons with four Bucks reaching double-digits and Giannis leading the way with 32 points and 12 rebounds.
Although the Bucks are far healthier than New Orleans they could be missing two key cogs with Ersan Ilyasova (nose contusion) and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring soreness) both questionable).

Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction:
Although a marquee matchup based on the All-Star, MVP candidates in this game the Pelicans are far more desperate to get the win. Going back through the past 10 games the Pelicans have alternated wins with losses so if that trend continues this game falls into the win column.
