On the other side of the court, the Pelicans hold the 5th position in their conference but have a dismal win-loss record of 21-56. Their home record sits at 14-24, and their away record is even worse at 7-32. They're averaging 110.0 points per game but are conceding a whopping 118.8 points on average.

For those placing bets, it might be tempting to back the Bucks given their recent form and the Pelicans' struggles. But remember, in basketball, as in all sports, anything can happen. It's all about the performance on the day.
