ASA NBA play on New Orleans Pelicans +7 vs. Milwaukee Bucks, 8 PM ET - The surging Bucks have won 4 straight and 7 of their last eight games after a rocky start to the season. A closer look though and only 2 of those seven wins came on the road, at Toronto and Orlando. On the season the Bucks are 8-10 Su with an average +/- of minus -2.2ppg. Despite a 12-32 SU record on the season the Pelicans are a respectable 12-12 ATS at home with a plus/minus of -4.1ppg. The Bucks aren’t the only team playing well right now as the Pels have also won 4 straight games and 5 of their last six overall. The lone loss in that stretch of games came to the Celtics in Boston by 1-point. The Pelicans season has been derailed by injuries to Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and every other starter on this roster at some point in time. Williamson missed Monday’s game with an illness but could return here. Again, looking at each teams last 5 games we see the Bucks have a +8.3 Net Rating, the Pelicans are +5.0. This is a big number and we like the home team plus the points.
