The Milwaukee Bucks will try to keep the good times rolling when they travel to New Orleans to face the Pelicans. Milwaukee has won its last four in a row, but they were all at home. The last time the Bucks lost was on the road vs. the Knicks (Jan. 12, 140-106).
Milwaukee and New Orleans have been banged up lately. So, having had a couple of days off (they last played on Sunday) should help Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton get cleared to play (both are listed as game-time decisions (GTD)). The Pelicans list Dejounte Murray and Zion Williamson on the injury report as ‘GTD.’ Murray is expected to play, but not Williamson. He’s listed as questionable with an illness. Brandon Ingram and Herbert Jones have been ruled out for the Pelicans.
The line opened with Milwaukee listed as a nine-point road favorite, but the line has since shifted to -8 to -7.5 points. As for the OVER/UNDER, it opened at 230.5 points. It has already moved up to 232.5 points at a couple of sportsbooks.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
New Orleans has looked good throughout its current four-game winning streak, but fans may not want to get too excited and overconfident. The competition in those games was not too impressive (Utah x2, Bulls, and Mavericks minus Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving). Milwaukee is one of the best teams in the league and will undoubtedly be more challenging than the Jazz, Bulls, or Mavericks. Milwaukee should not have too much trouble beating the Pelicans, with or without Zion Williamson.
Our Bucks vs. Pelicans Pick: New Orleans -7.5
