The Milwaukee Bucks welcome the New Orleans Pelicans in their next game in the NBA. They enter this game in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, whereas the Pelicans are 14th in the West. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

The Bucks were able to get back to winning ways last time out as they started a back-to-back schedule at home. Welcoming the Chicago Bulls, Doc Rivers’ men snapped a five-game losing streak with a 131-115 victory.

Kyle Kuzma scored a game-high 31 points and added 10 boards and six assists. It was only the second win for the Bucks in the last 10 games.

Milwaukee has struggled this term and, with 19 wins, is 10 games below .500. Giannis Antetokounmpo, the subject of trade rumors, highlights a lengthy injury report that has five players ruled out.

The Pelicans have lost their last two games. Before this negative run, they had lost just once in four outings. James Borrego’s men, who are midway through a four-game road trip, lost 102-95 to the Hornets.

It was their 39th loss of the season, and no other team has lost more. 20 of those setbacks have come away from home. The Pelicans, who have managed just 13 wins, have no recent injuries, with only long-term absentee Dejounte Murray listed in the latest injury report.

New Orleans has won just one of the last seven meetings with the Bucks.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction

Our prediction for the Milwaukee Bucks v the New Orleans Pelicans is that the New Orleans Pelicans wins. The Bucks and Pelicans have both struggled this season and so far have each lost more games than they have won. Milwaukee did secure a strong victory last time out, but we do not fancy them to win again.

This is because they are on the second night of a back-to-back and are missing key players due to injury. The Pelicans, on their part, though coming off consecutive setbacks, have had much time to prep for this match. They are also healthier than the Bucks, with no recent injuries.
