The Chicago Bulls will look to avoid elimination Wednesday night in Milwaukee after losing back-to-back games in blow-out fashion to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 and Game 4.

The Bulls got down by as much as 17 points in Game 1, but rallied back despite their stars shooting a combined 21-of-71. DeMar DeRozan shot 6-of-25 in that contest. Game 2 was a different story. The stars shined and DeRozan led the way with 41 points, a playoff career high. Game 3 and Game 4 were dominated by the Bucks role players– Grayson Allen scoring career highs in back-to-back game. Chicago is now facing elimination, down 3-1 as the series shifts back to Milwaukee.

As for the injury report, Serge Ibaka (illness) is day to day for the Bucks. George Hill (abdomen) and Middleton (knee) are out.

Lonzo Ball (knee), Matt Thomas (leg), Zach LaVine (health and safety) and Alex Caruso (concussion) are out for Chicago.

Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

Chicago shocked the world and beat the Bucks in Game 2 after having a good chance to win Game 1. The Bulls had all of the momentum going into their first home playoff game since 2017, and laid a complete egg. The defending champion Bucks took their game to a different level and Chicago couldn’t match it.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was unstoppable on both sides of the ball. That conundrum isn’t anything new. However, the Allen and Bobby Portis were also scoring at high rates. That shouldn’t have happened, but did. The momentum that the Bull gained quickly disappeared and the Bucks showed the difference between actual contenders and bottom feeder playoff teams.

That difference will be on display tonight. We’re taking the Bucks -12.5 and under 218.
