Chicago has dropped the last three battles against this division rival, and my Bucks vs. Bulls predictions favor a gritty Milwaukee squad that’s refused to throw in the towel without Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Bucks vs Bulls prediction
Bucks vs Bulls best bet: Bucks -3.5 (-110)
The Milwaukee Bucks are still outside the play-in spots, but the supporting cast has rallied impressively lately. The Bucks are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games, and they’ve covered the spread in each of those victories.
But this pick is equally about the Chicago Bulls’ miserable form. With a growing injury report and an eye on the draft, the Bulls are 1-9 ATS in their past 10 outings.

Milwaukee leads the season series 3-0, with all of those wins coming by a margin of 9+ points, and I’m laying the points with the visitors, who’ve picked up three straight Ws on their travels.
Bucks vs Bulls same-game parlay
The Bucks’ path to a road win starts with Ryan Rollins, who’s excelling in the lead guard role. Rollins averaged 20.9 PPG in February on 50% shooting, including a 21-point effort against Chicago.
He also made his 3-pointers at a 50% clip last month, and he’s ended up with 3+ made triples in eight of his past 13 contests. There will be openings to attack against a Bulls defense that’s allowed 120+ points in three of its last four outings.
