Milwaukee Bucks will face off against the Bulls in Chicago tonight as both teams look to bounce back from their respective losses. While the Bucks lie third in the Eastern Conference Table, the Bulls find themselves scrambling for the final play-in spot as they sit at 11th place.

Date & Time: April 30, 2021, 8pm ET

Venue: United Center, Chicago

Record: Bulls (26-36) vs Bucks (38-24)

Preview | Chicago Bulls

 The Bulls are two games behind the in-form Washington Wizards for the elusive 10th place in the East. So, in order to dethrone them, the Bulls need to catch fire in this final leg of the regular season.

They are coming off a loss at the hands of New York Knicks. In that game, Nikola Vucevic suffered tightness in his right adductor. Although he is listed as probable, he is likely to shake it off and lace up his boots for this encounter. Especially considering the fact that their All-Star, Zach LaVine, is expected to be out for another week or 10 days because of COVID protocols.

Starting 5 for Chicago Bulls

Guard – Coby White

Guard – Garrett Temple

Preview | Milwaukee Bucks

 The Bucks were handed a surprise 136-143 defeat at the hands of Houston Rockets last night. But more importantly, Giannis Antetokounmpo exited the game just a minute into the first quarter after twisting his ankle; and he did not make a return to the court.

While there is no confirmation over the extent of his injury yet as he hasn’t been officially ruled out, he is unlikely to play any part, not only because of the less-than-24 hour recovery period but also as the Bucks have no reason to risk their star player with the post-season soon approaching. So, PJ Tucker will take his place in the starting lineup.

They have no other immediate concerns in the injury department.

Predictions | Bulls vs Bucks

Both the teams are missing their best players, but the Bucks are slightly in a better position with Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton in their team. Hence, they are the slight favorites for this NBA game.
