Bulls vs Bucks Preview

Central Division foes go at it in their first meeting of the season as the Chicago Bulls (7-10) travel to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks (12-4) at the Fiserv Forum. Milwaukee opened this one as 7-point favorites on most books, but that number has dropped to 6.5 as we approach tip-off.

Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have had a roller coaster season thus far, but recently they have struggled mightily. The Bulls have lost six of their last eight games, with two of them coming by double-digits. Zach LaVine has gotten off to a slow start to his campaign, shooting the ball at a 41.4% rate from the field. The Bulls will look to carry the momentum from their last game, as they beat the top-seeded Boston Celtics in their best performance to date.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks, on the other hand, have had a ton of success early in the season. They are just half a game behind the Celtics for the number one record in the NBA, and star Giannis Antetokounmpo is playing at an MVP caliber level, averaging over 30 points and 11 rebounds. The month of November hasn’t treated the Bucks as well as October as the team sits at a 6-4 record for the month. The Bucks will also look to carry the momentum into this one, coming off a victory against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Betting Outlook

The Milwaukee Bucks have absolutely dominated the Chicago Bulls in recent matchups. The Bucks have gone 8-2 SU and 6-4 ATS in their last 10 meetings. In those games, the Bucks have outscored the Bulls by an average of about 13. The Bulls have also struggled on the road this season going 2-5 SU, while the Bucks have smashed opponents on their home floor, going 9-1 SU so far this season. It will be interesting to see how the Bulls follow up their outstanding performance against the Celtics.
