The Bucks are massive 15-point favorites, and with playoff seeding still in flux, expect Milwaukee to come out focused.
Damian Lillard is out, and Giannis Antetokounmpo (probable) could have his minutes managed ahead of a huge back-to-back vs Detroit. The Pelicans? They’re just trying to stay upright with half their roster on the injury list.

🧠 ClutchBuzz Prediction
Final Score: Bucks 117, Pelicans 102
Milwaukee wins big, but Pelicans +15 could backdoor cover depending on late-game rotations. The Over (222) is in play with Milwaukee’s fast pace and NOLA’s patchwork defense.
🔢 Parlay Builder – Bet Slip Suggestions
🧩 3-Leg Parlay (+650 to +750 depending on book)
| Leg | Pick | Reasoning |
| 1️⃣ | Bucks -15 | NOLA is depleted, Bucks want to secure 5-seed |
| 2️⃣ | Over 222 Total Points | Bucks + Pelicans combine for 224.8 PPG |
| 3️⃣ | Brook Lopez Over 1.5 3PM (Prop) | Extra spacing without Lillard, Lopez averaging 2.1 3PM at home |
🎯 Player Prop Picks
Here are top prop bets with solid value based on recent usage and matchups:
🦌 Bucks
- Malik Beasley Over 14.5 Points
➤ With Lillard out, Beasley sees more shot volume — hit this in 4 of last 5 starts - Brook Lopez Over 1.5 Threes Made
➤ Faces weak interior D, spacing increases without Dame - Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 28.5 Points
➤ Likely minutes limit ahead of Pistons clash; blowout risk could limit floor time
🦅 Pelicans
- Jordan Hawkins Over 2.5 Threes Made
➤ Volume shooter in a depleted lineup - Matt Ryan Over 12.5 Points
➤ Quietly producing late in season, could get extended minutes
💡 Clutch Take
This game may look like a mismatch, but it’s a classic “load management trap game.” The Bucks need to win — but they don’t need to overexert to do it. Beasley, Lopez, and the bench could bring value late. Look to the Over and role player props for the real edge.
