The Milwaukee Bucks will hit the road to close out their season series with the rising New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night at the Smoothie King Center.
A trip down to the Crescent City is what’s in store for the Milwaukee Bucks as they’ll take on the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night at the Smoothie King Center.
The Bucks earned a bounce back victory Sunday afternoon over the Phoenix Suns, a game in which they led all throughout and officially ensured that they would have a winning season this year (not that it was in doubt, clearly).

And Tuesday night gives the Bucks the chance to sweep their two game series with the Pelicans after previously beating them 127-112 back on December 11, doing so without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo that night.
The Pelicans, meanwhile, have certainly been the talk of the NBA over the last couple of weeks, especially ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline.
Not only has rookie and first overall pick from last year’s draft, Zion Williamson, made his debut since the Bucks first met with the Pelicans, but so has their overall fortunes as they’re currently 4.5 games back of the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies.
So without further ado, let’s dig into what to watch for when the Bucks take on the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night.
