Teams with poor records typically give their last all out effort right after All Star break. I’m expecting that with the 15 win Pelicans in this window currently. Milwaukee went into the break with wins in five out of their last six games, including a four point home win over New Orleans. The Pelicans return the favor tonight and clear the spread.

FanDuel. Saddiq Bey finished the first half of the season reaching the 20-point mark in seven of his last ten outings. He’ll face a Bucks defense that’s registered the 7th worst defensive rating since the beginning of January, and will be missing Myles Turner down low tonight. Milwaukee allows a lot of secondary scoring, including the third most via spot up shooting. Not only is it a good schematic matchup, but the Pelicans leading scorer, Trey Murphy, is doubtful to play tonight.
