Bucks vs Bulls Analysis
The Bulls got dealt a tough blow in their hopes to extend the series as Lavine is out due to safety protocols, and the books have certainly noticed as the Bucks are -12.5 point favorites with a total of 217.5. There are a lot of potential plays in this one, let’s find the best one.
Bulls Done
They’re probably getting eliminated tonight as they’ve been dominated the last two games with Lavine, and it’s a tough end to the season that started off so promising, but after a huge win in game two they’ve lost the next two games by 20 or more points, and they’re going to need a herculean effort as Dosunmu replaces Lavine.
Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen have feasted the last two games, and with Caruso out as well there is no defense on the perimeter. They’ll need DeRozan to go crazy and Vucevic to somehow dominate inside, but it’s hard to see where they’ll get big games from.
No Middleton, No Problem
The Bucks have cruised without Middleton thanks to Grayson Allen’s hot shooting, and Holiday’s penetration that has resulted in lots of points for him and lots of open looks for others.
They have no answer for Giannis (nobody does), so will Milwaukee drop the hammer and win by 20 again or will they let the Bulls hang around for the cover?
Bucks vs Bulls Prediction
I don’t see how the Bulls score, and the books have their team total at 102.5 which makes no sense as they are missing Lavine and they’ve scored 81 and 95 the last two games. Milwaukee should control the pace tonight, get up big and smother the offense of Chicago as they close out the series.
