Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Predicted lineups
If Damian Lillard doesn't suit up for the Bucks, Cameron Payne should feature in the starting lineup. Malik Beasley joins him in the backcourt, while Brook Lopez plays center. The starting five are completed by Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Bulls' starting lineup remains the same, with Nikola Vucevic, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine all set to play. Coby White has been designated as the starting point guard, and the other player joining the starting five will be Tony Craig.
Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks: Betting tips
Zach LaVine is averaging 22.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in the ongoing season. Over the past four games, he has only reached the 23-point mark once, and he should miss it again, especially against the defensive frontcourt of the Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is at 28.5 points on the props, and he has gone over that mark three times in the past four matches. With Lillard probably out, he should break that again as he averages 44.5 points in the last two games.
Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Prediction
The Chicago Bulls are a mess this season, and their record doesn't entirely reflect the team's woes. They should be blown away by the Milwaukee Bucks, and the spread should be covered.
The total has been broken by the Bucks three times in the last four games, while the Bulls have gone over in their last four games. The total should go over, and it will be a shootout.
