Milwaukee Bucks vs. New Orleans Pelicans: Game Highlights

Brook Lopez had 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Bucks (44-34), who won their fourth straight, and took a full game lead on idle Detroit (43-35).

Antonio Reeves scored 23 and fellow rookie Yves Missi had 18 points and 12 rebounds for New Orleans, which lost its third straight. Second-year pro Lester Quinones, playing in just his ninth NBA game this season, scored 17 points.

That sidelined trio has averaged 69.1 points combined per game this season. Pat Connaughton (right ankle) also was a late scratch. Bucks starters were Taurean Prince, Kyle Kuzma (17 points), Lopez, Trent and Porter.
