Bulls vs Bucks NBA Betting Predictions & Picks (11/20)

It’s the second meeting between these Central Division rivals after previously colliding in October. The Bulls got the better of the Bucks at Fiserv Forum that night, notching a 133-122 victory over Doc Rivers’ team as Coby White led the way with a team-high 35 points while Nikola Vucevic added a 22-point, 10-rebound double-double.

That was only the second game of the season, though, and the Bulls haven’t found much success since then, going 5-8 SU in their last 13 outings. They most recently picked up a 122-112 win against the Detroit Pistons on Monday, though, leaving time to tell if they can win consecutive outings for the first time since the end of October.

Although the Bucks haven’t had much more success than the Bulls since their first encounter, the former has been building some momentum lately.

After all, the Bucks improved to 3-1 SU in their last four outings with a 101-100 victory against the Houston Rockets two nights ago. Milwaukee is now on a three-game win streak at Fiserv Forum, outscoring its opponents by an average of 7.3 points per game along the way.

The Bucks have begun to hit their stride at Fiserv Forum lately. Will that trend continue tonight? 

Strong defensive play has played a role in the Bucks’ recent home success, holding their last three visitors to an average of 101.7 PPG. That could be bad news for a Bulls team that ranks 11th-worst in the NBA when it comes to offensive efficiency this season.

Speaking of defense, Chicago is surrendering a whopping 122.9 PPG (29th) and has allowed 140-plus points in two of its last three outings. Even though Milwaukee is far from perfect, it should be able to take advantage of most opportunities it sees on the offensive end.

Having said that, the Bucks will be shorthanded tonight as Khris Middleton (ankle) has already been ruled out. Giannis Antetokounmpo is also dealing with a knee injury, however, he’s probable to play.

As for the Bulls, Adam Sanogo (knee) and Patrick Williams (foot) are both questionable while Lonzo Ball (wrist) is likely a week away from returning to action.

How will the rest of the Bulls — like Zach Lavine — fare without Lonzo Ball in the lineup tonight? 

After losing last month, look for the Bucks to beat the Bulls tonight. Milwaukee has been quietly returning to form lately and that success could continue against Chicago, which has struggled to string consecutive wins together this season. Throw in the fact that the Bulls are one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA and I have a tough time imagining the Bucks not getting revenge this evening.

With that in mind, I’m going with the Bulls on the spread. With all due respect to the Bucks, they’re only 3-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games this season and have only covered the spread once in their last five home games against the Bulls. Chicago might not be perfect, but it has at least 4-2 ATS in its last six outings, and it just defeated Milwaukee by 11 points last month.

Even if it’s the Bucks’ game to lose, don’t be surprised if it winds up being closer than expected.

Best Bulls vs Bucks NBA Player Prop (11/20)

Zach LaVine is having quite the year from the perimeter, which is why I’m taking him to hit o2.5 threes made (-113) for the best Bulls vs. Bucks player prop bet tonight.

Through his first 12 games, LaVine is averaging 3.1 threes made on a career-high 42.0% success rate. The former UCLA sharpshooter has finished with the Over on this prop in eight of his appearances thus far (66.7%), which includes when he racked up seven three-pointers on 14 attempts against the Pistons earlier this week.

Fortunately, the Bucks have been struggling to stop the three-ball, allowing the fourth-most three-pointers on the sixth-highest percentage. In other words, as long as LaVine continues to see the ball, hitting the Over again isn’t too big of an ask.
