The New Orleans Pelicans (30-39) will host the NBA’s standard bearer Milwaukee Bucks at home in the Smoothie King center Tuesday night. If you’ve somehow missed it, the Bucks boast the best record (50-17) in the league, and it’s the first time they’ve hit the 50-win plateau since the 2000-01 season.
This matchup is an obvious case of two team’s seasons going in opposite directions; however, if we’ve learned anything about this Pelicans squad it’s that they aren’t going to give up and sometimes that has led to wins few expected. Despite this, let’s not overlook the fact the Bucks have been ridiculously impressive this season.
