Bulls vs Bucks Analysis
*All lines provided by DraftKings
The Bulls get the 1-1 split in Milwaukee and will host the Bucks tonight, and based on the Middleton injury and Bulls resurgence in game two we have a lot of interesting props to examine and we’ll look at the team and player props in this article and see if we can find some gems.
Bulls vs Bucks Team Total Props
The books are expecting some points tonight in this game as the Bulls team total is 110.5, and the Bucks team total is 112.5, and I tend to agree with these numbers.
The initial thought without Middleton is that the Bucks are losing a point scorer, but the Bucks averaged 110.8 points this year without Middleton in the lineup.
They played Chicago without Middleton in March and put up 126 so I’ll take the Bucks over 112.5. The Bulls need big games from DeRozan and Lavine which they got in game two, but I’m not ready to buy in yet so I’ll pass on the Bulls TT.
Team Total Prop: Bucks Over 112.5
Bulls vs Bucks Player Props
The Player Props is where this game gets interesting, and there are several that I like. I’m all in on the advantage Milwaukee has inside, and I think they pound Lopez and Giannis.
The point total for Giannis is 34.5 tonight, and even though it’s a huge total I like the over. He went for 33 points in game two, but only went 11-18 from the free throw line and 0-2 from threes.
He’ll improve and go over tonight. I’ll also take Vucevic over 11.5 rebounds as he’s the only tall guy to rebound against Lopez and Giannis.
He had 17 and 13 in games one and two, he should go over 11.5 tonight. Finally, a sneaky prop I love is Alex Caruso over 1.5 steals. He has had two in both games in this series, and the Bucks won’t have their second best ball handler in Middleton. It sets up for some errant passes which Caruso should take advantage of.
Player Prop Play: Giannis Over 34.5 Points or Alex Caruso Over 1.5 Steals
Bulls vs Bucks Same Game Parlay
Nikola Vucevic had 17 and 13 in two games and remains the Bulls only legit rebounding option inside. After a horrible shooting game in game one, DeRozan promised it wouldn’t happen again and he responded with 41 in game two.
Without Middleton, there are a lot of shots available on the perimeter now and Jrue Holiday should be the benefactor. He’s had 15 points in both games, but he hasn’t shot well and had limited free throws. He’ll have more tonight.
Caruso has had two steals in both games in this series, and the Bucks won’t have their second best ball handler in Middleton. It sets up for some errant passes which Caruso should take advantage of.
Vucevic 8+ Rebounds
DeMar DeRozan 25+ Points
Jrue Holiday 15+ points
Alex Caruso +1 Steal
+109
