New Orleans Pelicans

(14-17)

3rd East

11th West

Fanduel Line

The Bucks will look to win their 4th in a row tonight, but will have their hands full against a very talented young Pelicans team, who have won 2 in a row. Zion Williamson is an all star in just his second year, and the Pelicans are great offensively, but they have struggled mightily on defense and as a result are just 14-17. The line is super high but I still think the over will hit. Both teams have scored 120+ in their last two games, and I think they will do the same tonight. The Pelicans know they will not be able to slow down the Bucks so will look to be sharp again on offense, and the Bucks will do the same. Lonzo Ball has stepped his game up to another level since his brother entered the league. His brother’s spectacular play for the Hornets has probably lit a fire under his ass to play better himself, so look for him to continue scoring well tonight. The Pelicans are also very undersized, so the Bucks will definitely try to score in the paint, which they are very comfortable with. Take the over 242.5 total points, Lonzo Ball over 14.5 points, Khris Middleton over 21.5 points, and Brook Lopez over 11.5 points.
