Chicago at Milwaukee

Chicago's three full days off represents its longest period of rest aside from the All-Star break in two months, and it offered a chance for a banged-up squad to get closer to a return to health. The runaway win against the Knicks, which came after two days off, allowed coach Tom Thibodeau to rest his starters down the stretch, with Pau Gasol leading the way with only 28 minutes. Chicago is on a 5-1 ATS run and faces a struggling Milwaukee team short on offense and depth. The Bucks have lost two straight and 8 of 10 to fall back toward a host of teams vying for a playoff spot. The Bucks are on an 8-17-1 ATS run and 25-52-1 ATS against a team with a winning percentage above .600. The Bulls have taken six in a row from Milwaukee and have been victorious nine straight times on the road in the series. The Bulls are 5-0 ATS against the Bucks, including 10-2 ATS in Milwaukee. Take Chicago.
