- Milwaukee has won 20 of its last 24 regular season games against the Bulls.
- Chicago did beat Cleveland last time out but the Cavs were on a back-to-back and not much stock should be put into that win.

This Bucks vs Bulls matchup is the late game on ESPN on Friday, meaning an unusual 9:00 PM local time start. Regardless of the start time, expect the Bucks to come away with a road win and to cover the spread in this one. Milwaukee has won four games in a row and are starting to hit their stride after a rough start to Doc Rivers’ coaching tenure there. Giannis, Dame, and the Bucks should celebrate a fifth straight win when this one is in the books against a Bulls team they have dominated in recent seasons.
