Bulls at Bucks tips and predictions

forecast

Bucks 120, Bulls 108

Money line

HAPPEN.

There is no reason to take the moneyline here. Fiserv Forum will rock on Friday and the Bucks (-400) should be able to come out on top. Still, they are far too expensive to bring here.

Against the spread

BET -9.5 (-110).

The Bucks got just 25 points from their two-time league MVP Antetokounmpo on Wednesday, and he only made 9 of 16 from the free throw line. The Milwaukee crowd was supposed to rock, and they showed off their skills against a strong 76ers team to open the season. The Bucks shot 54% from the field and 43% from deep.

The Bulls shot just 29% on the road early in the season and had 21 turnovers. It should be a similar game for Chicago, especially considering the Bucks are a better team than New Orleans. Since the range is still below double digits, it is declining Dollars -9.5 (-110), as they have the more efficient offense and should perform well at home.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 233.5 (-110).

The Bucks held the 76ers to 109 points in their season opener, and Philadelphia has a potent offense with multiple scoring guards, similar to Chicago.

Likewise, the Bulls only scored 111 points in their first game of the season and had numerous turnovers. They might struggle against a longer and bigger Milwaukee defense. The teams were a combined 4-5 O/U in the preseason.

Given this high total and the Bulls' unstable offense, you can take that UNDER 233.5 (-110).
