Bucks Trying to Find Road Consistency
Milwaukee enters this matchup with a 26-32 overall record and a 12-18 mark on the road. The Bucks have gone 3-2 over their last five games, recently losing to New York 127-98. They picked up wins over Cleveland, Miami, and New Orleans during this stretch but also suffered a loss to Toronto. While Milwaukee has shown flashes offensively, defensive inconsistency has held them back.
The Bucks are averaging 112.4 points per game while allowing 115.6 points per contest. They are shooting 48% from the field and averaging 26.0 assists per game. Milwaukee also pulls down 41.2 rebounds per contest while contributing 4.1 blocks and 7.4 steals per game.
The most notable concern for Milwaukee is its defensive production. Allowing 115.6 points per game puts pressure on their offense to keep pace. Although they shoot efficiently at 48%, their rebounding numbers lag behind Chicago’s, which could create second-chance opportunities for the Bulls.

Bulls Looking to Snap Losing Streak
Chicago comes into Sunday’s game with a 24-36 overall record and a 15-17 mark at home. The Bulls have lost five straight games, recently falling to Portland, Charlotte, New York, Detroit, and Toronto. Defensive struggles have been a recurring issue during this skid.
The Bulls are averaging 115.7 points per game while allowing 120.5 points per contest. They are shooting 47% from the field and grabbing 44.5 rebounds per game. Chicago also averages 28.8 assists per game, showing strong ball movement despite their struggles.
Chicago’s biggest issue has been defense, as they are allowing over 120 points per game. However, their offensive production and assist numbers suggest they can keep games competitive if they limit turnovers and control the pace. Rebounding could also be a factor in their favor.
Bucks vs Bulls Pick
Bucks vs Bulls Pick
- Pick: Milwaukee Bucks Moneyline
While both teams have struggled defensively, Milwaukee holds a slight edge in overall efficiency and recent competitive performances. The Bucks’ win over Cleveland and strong shooting percentage give them a slight advantage against a Chicago team that has dropped five straight. I expect Milwaukee to respond after a lopsided loss and take control in this divisional matchup.
Bucks vs Bulls Total Pick
- Pick: Over (if total is set at 228 or lower)
Both teams allow over 115 points per game, and Chicago is surrendering more than 120. With each offense capable of scoring and both defenses showing vulnerabilities, I expect this to be a high-scoring contest. I see both teams pushing tempo and trading baskets throughout.
Final Score Prediction: Bucks 118, Bulls 113
