New Orleans vs Milwaukee: prediction for the NBA match
Will Pelicans be able to stop the Bucks at home on December 18? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
New Orleans Pelicans
USAWe think that New Orleans won't be able to advance into the playoffs in the current season, but Green's men surely don't want to hand victories to their opponent. They are performing well in recent matches. Sometimes Pelicans are succeeding. Throughout the last month Pelicans won 50% of their matches. Now Pelicans have nine victories and a 14th spot in the standings.
Two days ago New Orleans recorded an away victory over Oklahoma (113:110). Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas put up another great performance. In this match they scored 53 points and collected 24 rebounds combined. In recent matches that duo created many problems to opponents.
Milwaukee Bucks
USAMilwaukee are facing some injury problems. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bobby Portis and Dante de Vincenzo missed most recent matches. But Mike Budenholzer found a way out of this situation. Players, who replaced team's leaders didn't let their head coach down.
Despite all the problems, in the most recent match team beat Indiana (114:99). Jrue Holiday, Pat Connaughton and Bobby Portis completely destroyed Pacers' defense. But Portis won't be able to play in the match against the Pelicans, so head coach will need to find a replacement. It will probably be Khris Middleton, who is returning to the line-up.
Trends
СтавкаMilwaukee: total over 109,5 points
Bucks managed to beat the total in three out of four most recent matches
СтавкаBrandon Ingram: total over 5,5 rebounds
In ten most recent matches Ingram averaged six rebounds per game
Tip and bets
Milwaukee will play this match with a weakened squad, but even in this condition Mike Budenholzer's team is looking better than the opponent. New Orleans depends on Ingram and Valanciunas and we don't think that they will be able to beat the Bucks all by themselves.
We are expecting a confident victory from the Bucks.
Our prediction - Milwaukee to win with a handicap of (-2) points
In recent matches New Orleans' offensive performance improved. Pelicans managed to score 113 points in the match against Oklahoma. Taking that into account, we are expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total over 212,5 points
