Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls Analysis
The Chicago Bulls begin a lengthy six game road at Fiserv Forum against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. The Bucks kicked off a four game home stand with a 119-111 victory over the Portland Trailblazers on Monday evening.
The Bulls handled the defending Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics with a 121-107 home victory. This will be the first of four games in a regular season series Milwaukee swept last season.
The Bucks also dominated the Bulls 4-1 in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PST on Thanksgiving-eve.
Bulls Snap Four Game Slide
The Chicago Bulls ended a four game losing streak and improved to 7-10 on the season with a victory over the red hot Boston Celtics. They also put an end to nine game Celtic win streak as six Bulls scored double figures.
DeMar DeRozan led the way with 28 points on 11 of 24 from the floor. Zach Lavine bounced back from a horrendous 1 for 14 shooting performance in the prior game with 22 points including going 5 for 10 from beyond the arc.
Nikola Vucevic added a 12 point 13 rebound double-double. The Bulls defense ranks 12th in defensive scoring as they allow 111.3 points a game. Offensively Chicago scores only 111.1 points a game, which ranks 18th in the league.
They shoot 47.1% from the field as a team while DeRozan paces the team with 25.4 points per game. The Bulls will continue to play without the services of Lonzo Ball and Kostas Antetokounmpo.
Buck Beat Blazers In First Of Four At Home
The Milwaukee Bucks upped their record to 12-4 on the season with an eight point victory over the Portland Trailblazers on Monday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led all scorers with 37 points on 16 of 24 from the field while adding seven rebounds and six assists. Antetokounmpo could have been even better had he not missed 7 of his 12 free throws in the game.
Guards Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen both chipped in with 17 points of their own. Defense has been the Bucks calling card so far this season as they rank 4th in defensive scoring with only 106.9 points allowed per game. Offensively they rank 16th in scoring with 111.4 points a game.
Antetokounmpo leads his team in scoring and rebounding with 30.1 and 11.1 per game respectively. Milwaukee will most likely be without Khris Middleton and Wesley Matthews while Joe Ingles will be out until January at best.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls Prop Prediction
The Milwaukee Bucks are 7 point home favorites with a total of 223.5. The Bucks had the Bulls number last season as they won 8 of the 9 head-to-head matchups including the post-season.
We mentioned Giannis Antetokounmpos struggles at the free throw line but it goes beyond last game as he has shot an awful 24 for 56 (42.8%) over his last four games. His point total is set high today at 31.5, a total he has eclipsed only once in his last seven games.
The Bulls are middle of the pack in points in the paint but Antetokounmpo has only scored 32+ once in his last seven regular season games against them. There is a solid chance of a blowout here which would limit Antetokounmpos minutes and scoring.
We also have the news of a potential return from Khris Middleton as he has been recalled from the G League. There are plenty of different avenues to an Antetokounmpo under in this one to make it worthy of a play.
