Bulls at Bucks picks and predictions
Prediction
Bucks 114, Bulls 106
Moneyline
Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game. The Bucks (-290) are favored at home and have won 8 of the last 10 meetings against the Bulls, but taking them straight up at their current odds isn’t worth the risk.
Against the spread
BUCKS -6.5 (-115) is an intriguing wager with F Giannis Antetokounmpo expected to be active despite dealing with a knee issue. Even with the Bulls securing an impressive win over the Celtics Monday, I expect the Bucks to perform well at home Wednesday.
Milwaukee is 6-1 ATS in the team’s last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record and Chicago is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games against Milwaukee.
Over/Under
Even though I always root for high-scoring games, UNDER 220.5 (-110) seems like the ideal choice in this contest. Both of these teams have a combined 12-21 record to the Under so far this season.
The Under is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings between the Bulls and the Bucks in Milwaukee and the Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings overall. Plus, the Bulls are 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games while the Bucks are 7-0 to the Under in their last 7 games following a win.
