The NBA Play-in tournament will begin in about a week and it took around six months to get here. This has been a fantastic season and we will be witnessing even better action as we hit the Postseason window where a loss or two feels heavier than in the Regular Season. In this Regular Season game, the Milwaukee Bucks are going to take on the Chicago Bulls.

The Bucks come into this game after defeating the Wizards 140:128 on the heels of a 28 points and 10 assists performance by Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks have won two in a row and four of their last five matches, which has been a norm for them this season. Since late January, they have the best record in the league by a distance, having won 30 and losing just five matches. The Bucks have captured 57 wins and 22 losses, which makes for the best record and they are going to finish at the top of the league. Doesn’t this make this veteran unit a title contender? Remember they won a title just a couple of seasons ago and look like firm favorites again.
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls enter the match after losing 105:123 against the Hawks despite a 26 points effort by Zach LaVine. The Bulls have three losses in five games and two of these losses have come at home. Their play has been much better since the second week of March and since then, they have had nine wins and five losses. However, inconsistencies like the current one have plagued them all season because of which they have 41 losses and 38 wins. The Bulls have qualified for the Play-in tournament already and are 99% going to finish at the tenth spot. It means that one loss in the tournament will end it all but have the Bulls generated enough confidence to break through the first round of the Playoffs?
Injuries
- Bulls: OUT: Lonzo Ball, Justin Lewis;

Expert Betting Tips
The Bucks have been destroying teams left and right and this makes the Bulls highly vulnerable. Their loss against the Hawks doesn’t help the case. The Bucks are too loaded on all fronts and despite injuries to the main players, they have way more depth than the Bulls. I expect the Bucks to win here and predict a scoreline of 130:116 in favor of the Bulls.
