The Milwaukee Bucks have been on a nice little run having won six of their last eight games. As a team, the Bucks are putting up 119.8 points a game and they are shooting 48.7 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 110.8 points and their opponents are shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from deep. The offense is led by Giannis Antetokounmpo with 26.8 points and 11 rebounds a game. Khris Middleton adds 21.9 points and 5.8 assists.

The New Orleans Pelicans are going in the opposite direction having lost eight of their last 10 games. As a team, the Pelicans are putting up 109.2 points a game and they are shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 33.7 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 111.1 points a game and their opponents are shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 37.8 percent from deep. The offense is led by Zion Williamson with 23.9 points and 7.5 rebounds a game. Brandon Ingram adds 23.9 points and 5.6 rebounds.

The Milwaukee Bucks are pretty good basketball during their run. The Bucks have been really good at beating teams they are supposed to beat. New Orleans Pelicans is struggling at the moment and are getting beat by an average of 8.6 points in the underdog role. I am playing on the Bucks on this one.

Play on Milwaukee.
