Milwaukee at New Orleans

The Milwaukee Bucks have made a quantum leap in the win column this season, as they won a paltry 15 games last year. Despite losing their first round draft pick in Jabari Parker early on, the Bucks have transformed into a legitimate playoff team, entering this game at 34-32 on the season. New Orleans is still alive in the West and have had a good year themselves. There has been a vast difference in their perceived level of play, and it glares loud and clear. The Pelicans are 31-15 ATS on the season with a line of -4 or less, while they are 7-13 ATS to a line of -4.5 or more. The Bucks have rebounded from a loss to go 22-10 ATS in their next game, while the Pelicans are just a woeful 1-7 ATS in their last eight at home vs. a team with a losing road record. Play on Milwaukee.
