On the Wednesday night game between Milwaukee Bucks VS New Orleans Pelicans, Bucks were able to win by 123-115 in what was a hard-fought win.

Antetokounmpo led the Bucks on Wednesday night as he scored 24 points off his 8 assists and 8 rebounds.
Wilson, who was plagued with many injuries, has seen little action this season. He scored 10 points of his 10 rebounds and played through much of the fourth quarter.
