After beating the Pistons 128-118 last night, the New Orleans Pelicans (14-17) will take the court once more tonight, this time against the Milwaukee Bucks (19-13) in the first of a two-game road trip. In their previous meeting, the Pelicans defeated the Bucks 131-126 in the Smoothie King Center.
New Orleans will need to find the balanced attack they employed in the first matchup. In that game, the Pelicans had four starters score over 20 points to go along with 26 points from the bench. However, they will likely need to perform better defensively as they allowed Milwaukee to shoot 50% from the field on January 29.
