Pelicans vs. Bucks Betting Preview - January 27, 2024
FanDuel opened the line on the Pelicans-Bucks game at Milwaukee -6.5 overnight Friday with both teams getting crushed by their respective opponent.
Opening Line Trend
We get a line of Milwaukee -2.39 but the Pelicans must fly to Milwaukee after a 107-83 loss at home to the Thunder.
The early line indicates about a 4-point overlay.
Recent Head to Head
The Bucks have won eight of the last ten in this series and the Pelicans two wins were in New Orleans. One was in OT. Only one of the Pelicans losses were within the current spread. And here we will have an angry Bucks team that just got dismantled by the Cavs the night before.
After the Bucks suffer a humiliating defeat, they've come back the next game pretty riled up.
Back to Back
New Orleans hasn't shown much wear and tear in back-to-back games even when having to travel the next night.
Milwaukee played last night as well but remain home.
Recent Performance
The Pelicans have demonstrated remarkable resilience following a really bad loss their last game. There was really only one stretch early in the season where they were having issues.
Top Cappers
Mixed but Off the Board
Injuries and Other Notes
New Orleans played without Zion Willamson versus the Thunder due to a bone bruise in his left foot. He's questionable for Saturday night's game. Assuming he plays, Williamson might not be at his best.
