The Bulls played their last game at home and unexpectedly stopped one of the strongest teams in the NBA right now, Cleveland. It took two overtimes to find the winner - 132-123 (109-109). Andre Drummond grabbed 26 rebounds, Nikola Vucevic had a double-double - 24 points and 13 rebounds, as did DeMar DeRozan - 35 points, 10 rebounds. Coby White finished the game with a game-high 12 assists. The win over the Cavs was Chicago's fifth in the last nine games. The Bulls are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings and are already unlikely to fall out of the play-in zone.

The Bucks needed some time to make tactical adjustments after changing head coaches, but now Milwaukee is 7-7 under Doc Rivers. The Bucks also ride a four-game winning streak, having beaten Minnesota (112-107), Philadelphia (119-98), and Charlotte twice (123-85, 111-99). The progress of Milwaukee's Rivers on defense is evident. If this continues, the Bucks will have a good chance to make a run in the season and the playoffs, where the team's seeding appears to be quite high. Milwaukee currently sits in third place in the East and is 0.5 wins out of second place.

The Bucks have been much more efficient on defense lately, and Chicago has been pretty good defensively. At the same time, the Bulls are not so good on offense. Based on this, we are cutting the total in the upcoming game and also expect the Bulls to give Milwaukee a fight. Meetings with Chicago are traditionally difficult for the Bucks. Another possibility is that Milwaukee will not lose due to fouls.
