Tonight in the NBA two teams that have no shot at reaching the playoffs square off in Milwaukee as the Bucks face the New Orleans Pelicans.

Milwaukee is near the bottom of the league in defense and even though the Pelicans have a great enforcer in Anthony Davis, they’re not near being a solid defensive team.

This game is sure to draw more attraction on the under for several reasons. If you’ve seen these two teams play this season, you’ve likely seen blowout affairs against either team. Blowout losses though can be misleading. The attraction to see the losing team only score in the mid 80’s or low 90’s will give you a false impression of a team’s ability to score. Naturally a team that is getting thrashed is going to take poor shots and is going to face abnormal substitutions as the coach maneuvers players in and out of the lineup.

Lately Milwaukee has been able to put up points, including 114 in a recent game versus Utah. This is a game that both teams believe they can win, and to do so they’ll need offensive execution over depending on their porous defense.

Shoot for the over on this one tonight in Milwaukee.
