Prediction
I like the Bucks in this game. They are currently playing some of the best basketball in the NBA right now with their eleven-game winning streak. Even though the Bulls matchup well against the Bucks, I just think Giannis Antetokounmpo is too much for Chicago to handle. Plus, the Bucks are a more complete team than the Bulls with a better bench. Milwaukee’s defense plays a huge factor in this one as they give Demar DeRozan trouble and shut him down.
Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks moneyline.
