Prediction
The Bucks are playing their best basketball right now since the return of Giannis and Middleton has been playing better as well. The Pelicans have lost 7 games in a row and are without 3 of their best players so this is a bad spot for them facing a team that has lost only 5 games at home and playing at their best right now. Giannis and company will be too much for the Pels. Take the Bucks.
PICK: Bucks -11 (-110)
