The Milwaukee Bucks travel to play the Chicago Bulls in their next match in the NBA. Three games separate the two teams in the Eastern Conference with the Bucks in fifth place having the advantage over their ninth-placed hosts. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Bulls saw a three-match winning run halted last time out by the Celtics. In the second night of a back-to-back between the two teams, the Bulls were outclassed 123-98.

Billy Donovan’s men, who have improved their form in recent weeks, had defeated Boston 117-108 on the road before the return game. Chicago have won 13 matches and are three games under .500.

Josh Giddey is likely to be available for selection after missing the last two matches.

The Bucks returned to winning ways last time out with a 112-101 home win over the Wizards. They had suffered a demoralizing defeat after their NBA Cup victory in Cleveland and needed an immediate response.

Doc Rivers’ men have won five of their last six fixtures and have improved to 15-12. The Bucks defeated the Bulls 122-106 a month ago to tie this season series at 1-1. Damian Lillard remains a doubt due to injury.

He has missed the last two matches due to a calf issue. Giannis Antentokunmpo and Khris Middleton are also listed in the injury report as questionable.
