The Bucks are coming into this game with a 15-12 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They were on fire going into the NBA Cup games and they ended up winning the tournament, but they have struggled more in their 2 games since then. They got blown out by the Cavaliers in their 1st game after winning the NBA Cup and now they are coming off of an 11 point win at home in their last game, but that win also came against the Wizards who are one of the worst teams in the league right now. They were missing Lillard in their loss to the Cavaliers and were missing both Lillard and Giannis in their win over the Wizards, but the team could be missing both of those players again in this game. They are going up against a Bulls team that is 13-16 this season and they have been playing much better in their recent games. They are coming off of a huge loss at home against the Celtics in their last game, but prior to that loss they had actually won 3 straight games with a win against the Celtics in Boston in that span. The Celtics got their revenge right after in the Bulls last game, but the Bulls will be hungry to bounce back here at home and have been playing well recently. The Bulls can take advantage of the Bucks who are missing some key pieces in this game. The Bulls will cover the spread in this game.
