“Milwaukee at New Orleans on Tuesday night wouldn’t typically jump off the schedule, but think about it. The Greek Freak? Dueling with The Brow? Antetokounmpo vs. Anthony Davis is as underrated (and mouthwatering) an individual matchup as the league can serve up.” – ESPN.com’s Marc Stein in his Monday NBA power rankings column
Other than both being among the NBA’s smallest markets, Milwaukee and New Orleans don’t have a lot in common when it comes to basketball, as members of different conferences who only face off twice a season. Recent Bucks-Pelicans meetings have been very entertaining affairs more often than not, however, due to the presence of Milwaukee rising star Giannis Antetokounmpo and New Orleans three-time All-Star Anthony Davis.
