Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Bucks have been in a real slump as they’ve lost six of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting mauled by the Grizzlies in a 125-104 road defeat last night. AJ Green led the team with 20 points on seven of 13 shooting, Kevin Porter Jr added 16 points with eight rebounds and five assists while Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis each scored 15 points. As a team, the Bucks shot just 43 percent from the field and 14 of 39 from the 3-point line as they poured in 35 points in the first quarter to take an early 10-point lead. However, that lead disappeared in the blink of an eye as the Bucks were always trailing after getting outscored by 35-15 in a nightmare of a second quarter.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been on a tear as they’ve won six of their last seven games overall. They will be eager to build on their current five-game win streak after sneaking past the 76ers in a 109-192 home win last night. Tre Jones and Zach Collins each scored 15 points, Coby White added 13 points, while Josh Giddey tallied 12 points with six rebounds and 11 assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 44 percent from the field and 14 of 41 from the 3-point line as they scored just 19 points in the second quarter to fall behind by 11 points. They fought hard to stay within striking distance until the fourth quarter, where they restricted the 76ers to just 17 points to secure the gritty win in front of their home fans.

Bulls vs Bucks Prediction
The Bucks are still missing Giannis Antetokounmpo, Taurean Prince and Gary Trent Jr, while the Bulls expect to have a full squad for this one. The Bucks have been mired in their worst slump of the season without Antetokounmpo in the lineup, and their confidence took another gut shot following their big loss to the depleted Grizzlies last night. The Bucks still have a chance of pulling off the upset on the road, but the Bulls are clear favorites in this spot. I think they can maintain their strong play with another win and cover at this modest line.
