Milwaukee at New Orleans

This should be an intensely played contest as both these teams have the potential to go deep into the playoffs. Milwaukee is 21-8 on the season. The Bucks have also cooled off. They have come off a 7-1 run to go just 2-2 in their last 4 games. New Orleans is living up to expectations at 18-11 but enters this game on a 3-game losing streak. While they lost 3 straight games, all of them came on the road. The pelicans have been lethal at home where they are 10-1 over their last 11 and have been winners of 7 straight here. This is a measuring stick game for the Pelicans, and their homecourt advantage has been very strong. Make the play on New Orleans on the money line.
