The New Orleans Pelicans are back on the road to face the Milwaukee Bucks, last season’s Eastern Conference champions, for the second time this season. The first meeting between both sides ended with a 126-131 win for the Pels in a homecoming for Jrue Holiday.
The Pelicans are currently 11th in the west, while the Bucks are currently on a slight downward spiral despite still being third in the east. After being one of the most dominant teams in the regular season for the past couple of years, Mike Budenholzer’s Bucks are currently 19-13; for reference, they lost just 17 regular season games last season.
