The Bucks are coming into this game with a 39-21 record this season and they are currently sitting in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics are pulling away with the number 1 seed in the Eastern Conference but now the Cavaliers have pulled into 2nd and the Bucks will be pushing to get that number 2 seed back that they have had for most of the season. They have been playing much better in their recent games as they are starting to heat up now. They have won their last 4 straight games and all 4 of these wins have come after the NBA All Star break as they are 4-0 after the break now. They were awful in their first few games under Doc Rivers as well but now they are 4-0 coming out of the break and their defense has been much better in those games as well, allowing no more than 107 points in any of those games as well as allowing under 100 in their last 3 straight games. They are going up against a Bulls team that is 28-31 this season and is trying to keep themselves in a position to make the play-in tournament, but they have not been great recently as they have lost 3 of their last 5 games. They are coming off of a win against the Cavaliers in their last game but also needed OT to win after trailing for most of that game. The Bulls have been very inconsistent this season while the Bucks have been heating up in their recent games, playing much better on defense as well. The Bucks will cover the spread in this game.
