The Chicago Bulls host the Milwaukee Bucks at the United Center for this Eastern Conference clash in the NBA. The Bulls sit 11th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 13-18 while the Bucks are positioned in fifth place at 16-13. Here’s our prediction for the match.

The Bulls come into this contest looking to snap out of a three-game losing streak. They’re coming off a 141-133 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. It was a particularly tough loss for Chicago who were outscored 50-25 in the fourth quarter to ultimately lose the game.

Chicago will now return to the home gym where they have struggled to get consistent results. The hosts have lost 11 of their 15 appearances at home compared to their solid 9-7 away record.

Following their NBA Cup triumph over the Thunder just over one week ago, the Bucks have gone on to split their next four games on the schedule. In their latest, they lost 111-105 at home to the Brooklyn Nets, snapping a two-game winning streak.

The big news ahead of this matchup is the status of duo Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. The two superstars are both listed as questionable on the team’s injury report which would leave the team threadbare in the offensive department.
