Chicago at Milwaukee

The Bucks return from a 0-3 road trip with a franchise-looming decision on whether to trade injured superstar
Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks would rather not punt this season, but at 18-29, they really need to win this home game. Milwaukee has faced nine opponents in its last 11 games with winning records. This is a step down against the 24-26 Bulls. Chicago is 1-4 in its last five games. The Bulls rank 26th defensively. They just got through losing two of three games to Miami in an unusual three-game set caused by a rescheduled game due to damp court conditions at Chicago's United Center on January 8. The Bulls were blown out by the Heat, 134-91, at Miami two days ago. The Bulls will be without their best player, Josh Giddey, due to a hamstring injury. Giddey is averaging 18.6 points and 8.8 assists a game. Take the Bucks.
