Preview

Milwaukee Bucks will be meeting Chicago Bulls on Wednesday in Milwaukee, This will be the second game in the first round for this matchup as Milwaukee started defending their title with a 93-87 win over the Bulls in game 1, Game 1 was closer than what people though it would be based on past results between them but it was a close defensive battle.

Chicago Bulls didn't have a good shooting night especially from the 3 Pointers with only 18% and 32% from the field. Vucevic and Lavine both had a double double in this game, Vucevic had 24 points, 17 rebounds and 3 Assists while Lavine had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3 Assists. Chicago will have to shoot better to try and surprise the Bucks and steal a game from them at home.

Milwaukee bucks had a really good defensive game but not so impressive offensively. Giannis was the best player in the game with 27 points, 16 rebounds and 3 Assists on 53% shooting from the field, the rest of the team will have to step up to try to make this a comfortable 2-0 lead going to Chicago, Unlike last few regular season games, the Bucks are playing much better defensively and fighting for every rebound.

Game 1 ended in a 93-86 Bucks win but the Bulls still covered the game and it went way under the total. The O/U is 3-7 to the under in the last 10 games between them with Bulls averaging 110.4 and Bucks averaging 113.8 points a game.

Prediction

Milwaukee Bucks won this close and defensive battle with Chicago Bulls but Chicago still covered ATS wise. I still like the Bucks to win this game but I'm not sure if I trust then enough to cover this number now. What I like thought is the Under as the Under have hit 7 times out of last 10 games between them, also Chicago are 4-1 to the under in the last 5 road games so give me the Under in this game.

Pick: Game total under 225 points (-110)
