NBA Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls – 15h30 04/17/2022: The rank of the King.
The 3rd place in the Eastern Standings gives the Milwaukee Bucks a favorable first round of Playoffs, their opponent is an unbalanced Chicago Bulls. This is considered to be the match with the biggest difference on the East Coast, the Illinois Bulls will hardly be able to stop the ambition of the defending champion.
The Milwaukee Bucks finished third in the East by sub-index lower than the Boston Celtics despite having the same 51 wins. The performance of the Wisconsin Deer was not too stable at the end of the season, notably, they had a defeat against the Clippers with a score of 119-153. The Chicago Bulls had a sad second half of the season when their uniformity began to be ruined. With a sharp attack with DeRozan or LaVine, the Bulls do not have a strong enough defense and the attack is blunt, it also means that the game is out of reach.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls Handicap
- Quarter 1: Milwaukee Bucks
- Quarter 2: Milwaukee Bucks
- Quarter 3: Chicago Bulls
- Quarter 4: Milwaukee Bucks
This is the first Playoffs for Chicago Bulls since season 16/17, and their youth and inexperience are hard to create a surprise in front of the defending champion. Milwaukee Bucks even won 9 of the last 10 encounters, including 4 times in a row this season against the Bulls. The Illinois Bulls this season are having a very bad record against the top 6 teams. The most recent match at the beginning of April saw a complete dominance of Giannis and his teammates, with the final score of 127-106. The Greek God of War is still at the forefront of the Bucks, with scoring this season reaching an average of 29.9 – the highest in his career. A good formation with effective defense from Allen and Holiday creates balance and is hard to beat Deer. Bulls will not have Lonzo Ball until the end of the season, Caruso’s ability to play is also a question mark. Even if the handicap is 10.5, the chance for Milwaukee to win at the Asian handicap is still bright.
The defense of both teams is going down in the last 10 matches. However, against a weak Chicago Bulls, the point loss that the Bucks must receive is probably only 110. The difference that the Deer creates is expected to reach 130.
