Another mouth-watering NBA Eastern Conference battle is on deck when the Chicago Bulls will have to deal with a quick turnaround as they head to Milwaukee to take on the well-rested Bucks. The Bulls are coming off an impressive 113-99 home win against Toronto to improve their record to 42-29 and snap a three game losing streak that saw Chicago slide all the way down to fifth in the standings. The East is incredibly tight at the moment with the top five teams only separated by a few games. Miami leads the pack with a 47-25 record but the Sixers, Bucks, Celtics and Bulls are all in hot pursuit. The defending champion Milwaukee Bucks look to be picking up steam at the right time as we head into the final stretch of the NBA regular season. Despite losing their last game in a shootout to the young TWolves 138-119, the Bucks have won eight of their last 10 and racked up some impressive victories over some of the NBA’s best teams.

Milwaukee will enjoy the advantage of having two full days of rest while the Bulls will be coming into this game on a back to back. Giannis and his team have seemingly had the upstart Bulls’ number this season, winning the previous two matchups between the sides this season. It’s understandable why the Bucks come into this game as sizable favorites considering there are a number of factors working against Chicago in this spot. The one thing holding the Bulls back this season from making a legitimate title run could be their lackluster road performance. Chicago has been fantastic at the United Center, racking up 26 wins to only 10 losses but have been a different story on away trips. A below .500 record at 16-19 could serve as a roadblock especially if they finish the season in the fifth spot without home court advantage.
