What to Know
After a few days’ rest for both teams, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Chicago Bulls will meet up at 9:30 p.m. ET April 20 at Fiserv Forum. Milwaukee will be strutting in after a win while Chicago will be stumbling in from a defeat.
The Bulls are out to make up for these teams’ game on Sunday. Milwaukee beat Chicago 93-86. Milwaukee’s power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo filled up the stat sheet, posting a double-double on 27 points and 16 rebounds. That makes it three consecutive games in which Antetokounmpo has had at least 11 rebounds.
The Bucks are the favorite in this one, with an expected 10-point margin of victory. Now might not be the best time to take Milwaukee against the spread since they’ve let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.
Milwaukee’s victory brought them up to 1-0 while Chicago’s loss pulled them down to a reciprocal 0-1. Two offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Milwaukee enters the contest with 115.5 points per game on average, good for third best in the league. Chicago has displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they rank third in the league when it comes to field goal percentage, with 48% on the season.
