Bucks vs. Bulls Prediction & Pick

The Bucks have played unreal basketball during the second half of the season, going 28-5 over their last 33 games. They've been dominant at Fiserv Forum as well during that time, going 13-3 at home during that stretch.

Milwaukee returns home after a quick trip to Washington to face the Wizards last night, while Chicago is coming off an ugly 123-105 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. The Bulls have been hovering around .500 all season long at 38-41 but have played well on the road lately, going 7-1 in their last eight away games.

Both teams could be a bit tired after playing and traveling yesterday, but this should still be a compelling matchup. The Bucks rank seventh in the NBA in scoring at 117.3 points per game, while the Bulls are giving up the seventh-fewest points per game at 112.3.

Expect Milwaukee's superior talent to win out at home in a game that could be closer than expected.

Final Score Prediction: Bucks: 118 | Bulls: 110

Bucks vs. Bulls Best Bet

With both teams playing on tired legs, this game projects to be more of a defensive battle. Both clubs rank top 10 in defensive rating, with Chicago at sixth and Milwaukee at fourth. The Under is 12-4 in their last 16 meetings overall and 7-1 in their last eight matchups at Fiserv Forum, so expect a lower-scoring game tonight.

Bet: UNDER 229.5 Total Points (-110)
