Bulls at Bucks picks and predictions
Prediction
Bulls 123, Bulls 117
Moneyline
PASS.
The Bucks (-350) should win, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites, especially not with their play this year. Pass here, and bet the spread and/or O/U instead.
Against the spread
BET BULLS +8.5 (-110).
Chicago is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games overall and 3-1 ATS in its last 4 on the road. The Bulls have also covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 meetings.
The Bucks have underperformed this year, so even though they are the much more talented team, I expect the Bulls to make this a close game.
Over/Under
BET OVER 239.5 (-105).
The Over has hit in 3 of Chicago’s last 4 overall and is 2-1 in its last 3 on the road. The Over is also 9-6 on the season for the Bulls.
For Milwaukee, the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 games. The Over has also hit in 3 of the last 4 meetings.
