Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls have been building nicely as they are now gunning for a season-high fifth straight victory after beating the Spurs in a 121-112 road win on Friday. Coby White led the team with 24 points and six assists, Nikola Vucevic added 21 points with 16 rebounds while Patrick Williams and DeMar DeRozan scored 20 points apiece. As a team, the Bulls shot 46 percent from the field and 13 of 28 from the 3-point line as they struggled to contain the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama in the first half and fell behind going into the break, before they dominated the second half by 69-49 to keep their win streak alive.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 37 points and 10 rebounds on 13 of 19 shooting, Damian Lillard added 24 points with seven assists, Khris Middleton scored 20 points while Brook Lopez chipped in with 18 points.

Bulls vs Bucks Prediction
The Bulls are still missing Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso is listed as questionable, while the Bucks have ruled out Pat Connaughton once again. The Bulls have sprung to life with four wins on the trot despite missing some key players, but they’re going to have to be at their best to take down the revamped Bucks who are coming off a rare loss. It’s hard to imagine the Bulls having enough firepower to hang with the Bucks in this one, but they pushed the Bucks to overtime in their last meeting. The Bucks still look like a work in progress, but coming off a loss, I think they get the big win in this one.
