The Bucks should have no problem. The Bulls’ performance isn’t impressive at all. With that kind of play, the home team probably won’t be able to put up much of a fight against the Bucks.
In recent away games, the Bucks have played well defensively. In their previous three away games, they had not allowed more than 108 points to their opponents. That’s unlikely to be the case for the Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls are slowly losing ground in their conference. They lost their fifth game in a row. Billy Donovan’s team lost on the road to the Indiana Pacers (113-117).
The team’s black streak also includes games against the Orlando Magic (91-100), Cleveland Cavaliers (89-97), Brooklyn Nets (105-116) and Memphis Grizzlies (89-104).
In the game against the Pacers, Zach LaVine scored 35 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists.
February 7 is the date of Chicago’s last win. The Bulls were able to beat the San Antonio Spurs (128-104) on this day.
The Bulls are one or two wins away from clinching the playoff spot. The Illinois team is close to the coveted No. 10 spot. The Bulls currently sit 11th with 26 wins and 32 losses.
The Chicago Bulls are averaging 113.3 points per game.
The Milwaukee Bucks kept up their momentum and continued to win. The Bucks secured an important win against the Boston Celtics (131-125). Everything came down to overtime, as regular time ended in a tie (116-116).
Jrue Holiday contributed 40 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists to the Bucks’ victory. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a double-double of 36 points and 13 rebounds.
That was Milwaukee’s 11th straight win. The last time the Bucks lost was January 22. That was in an away game against the Cleveland Cavaliers (102-114).
The Milwaukee Bucks are second in the Eastern Conference. In 57 games, the team has won 40 games and suffered 17 losses.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Chicago Bulls: Zach LaVine – Ayo Dosunmu – DeMar DeRozan – Patrick Williams – Nikola Vucevic.
Milwaukee Bucks: Jrue Holiday – Grayson Allen – Pat Connaughton – Giannis Antetokounmpo – Brook Lopez.
Lonzo Ball (Out), Javonte Green (Out), DeMar DeRozan (Day-to-day), Derrick Jones Jr. (Day-to-day) and Alex Caruso (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Chicago Bulls.
