Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Bucks continue to lose and have scoring issues without Giannis, and I doubt things improve on the end of a back to back. The Bulls played last night, but they don’t have to travel, and they’ve found their winning ways over the last week or so. A comeback win over the 76ers should improve the confidence of this Bulls squad. I just can’t show the Bucks much attention in their current form and when they’re still down their best player. The line is reasonable. Give me the Bulls on Saturday night.
