BETTING TRENDS

Chicago are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games.

Chicago are 5-10 ATS in their last 15 games against Milwaukee.

Milwaukee are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games.

Milwaukee are 14-22 ATS at home this season.

Prediction

The Bulls have struggled lately, losing 3 of their last 10 games and failed to cover the spread in their last 7 games on the road. The Bucks will have Giannis back in the court but Middleton is out for this game. Milwaukee haven't been profitable ATS at home but they already beat twice the Bulls earlier this season by 4 and 6 points. The Bulls are still a very dangerous team but if Lavine doesn't play it will be a very difficult game for them. Take the Bucks to cover.

PICK: Bucks -6 (-110)
