The odds listed were as per available information at the time of writing.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>New Orleans Pelicans vs Milwaukee Bucks preview<\/h3>\n<p>The Pelicans season was ravaged through injuries and they never really got a chance to field their strongest Starting 5. They also traded Brandon Ingram before the trade deadline. <\/p>\n<p>With the season done in terms of meaningful games, the team shut down <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/zion-williamson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Zion Williamson<\/a> (back) and CJ McCollum (foot) for the rest of the year, in addition to several others being out.<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans is on a four-game losing streak and is coming off of a 119-114 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday. Antonio Reeves and Karlo Matkovic led the team with 17 points each, while Jose Alvarado had 16 points.<\/p>\n<p>The Bucks are coming off of a 110-103 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. They trailed by as many as 24 points in the final quarter before scoring 23 straight points. They went on a 39-8 run to  finsih the game, which helped them maintain their hold on the fourth spot in the standings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/giannis-antetokounmpo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> had a triple-double of 23 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, while Kevin Porter Jr. was phenomenal in the final quarter and ended the game with 21 points.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee continues to be without Damian Lillard who is out with blood clotting in his right calf. Despite his absence, the team is on a five-game win streak and will likely extend it on Thursday.<\/p>\n<h3>New Orleans Pelicans vs Milwaukee Bucks betting props<\/h3>\n<p>Jose Alvarado\u2019s points total is set at 15.5. The oddsmakers don\u2019t favor him to go over and neither do we.<\/p>\n<p>Giannis Antetokounmpo\u2019s points total is set at 27.5, which is under his season average of 30.4 points. Bet on the over.<\/p>\n<h3>New Orleans Pelicans vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction<\/h3>\n<p>The oddsmakers favor the Bucks to get a lopsided win at home. We expect the same, as Milwaukee should cover the spread for a win in a game where the team total surpasses the 222.5-point mark.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/884327-1713611354-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Rajdeep Barman&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nRajdeep Barman is a U.S. Sports Editor at Sportskeeda and occasionally writes about basketball.
