Milwaukee Bucks sit at the top of the Central division in the NBA's Eastern Conference. They have a 20-9 record for the season but are having a tough battle with the Indiana Pacers who are on 20-11. The home side have won 13 out of their 16 matches played on home territory. They got off to a fantastic start this season winning their first seven matches, something they hadn't done since the 1971-72 season and going into this game have won four of their last five.

New Orleans Pelicans are propping up the Central Division in the Western Conference. That might not sound too promising but they are 15-16 for the season and the division leaders Memphis Grizzlies are 16-14 so a run of wins could change everything for them. One problem they have is their away form with only four wins in 15 matches and if that can be improved they could yet reach the play-offs. Two of their last three games have been lost and with their away performances so inconsistent the tip here is for a home win.
