After picking up a signature win on the road in Toronto in their return to action following the All-Star break, the Milwaukee Bucks will return home on Sunday and hope to add another win.
Just like the Bucks, there’s every reason why their opponent, the New Orleans Pelicans, will come into this game high on confidence, though.
While Milwaukee was sealing an overtime win against the Raptors on Friday night, the Pelicans were notching up an overtime win of their own against the Miami Heat.
