Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Dec. 13 at New Orleans Pelicans
By Adam McGee
The Milwaukee Bucks return to action following their longest break of the season to date, and will look for a road win against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Having won six of their last seven games, the Milwaukee Bucks enjoyed some well-earned rest and practice time following their dominant win against the Utah Jazz on Saturday in Milwaukee.
The one disappointment to emerge from that time off is that it didn’t prove to be long enough for any of the team’s long list of injured players to return to full health.
On the whole, the storylines heading into Wednesday’s game on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans are being dominated by injury reports.

The Bucks may have hoped to have Matthew Dellavedova and Tony Snell back in action, but neither player traveled with the team. From the New Orleans perspective, already suffering from their own array of injuries, the bulk of the attention is focused on the status of star big man Anthony Davis.
Davis has missed four of the Pelicans’ last six games, including Monday’s loss to the Houston Rockets, and is considered “questionable” ahead of Wednesday night’s game.
Even dealing with injuries, both teams still boast plenty of talented players who should deliver an entertaining game. Let’s look ahead to some of the potential deciding factors.
