Milwaukee at Chicago

December 31, 2016
img7:05 PM Eastern

This is a big game for both teams to end the year, as they are both one game below .500. History tells us that when two division teams meet and both squads have a record of one game below .500, the home team is 59.3% ATS, so it certainly appears that the Bulls have the historical edge. The Bulls have appeared to have ended a poor stretch that saw them record a 1-6 mark, but they have rebounded to win two of their last three. Following a four-game winning streak, the Bucks have gone just 5-8 in their last 13. The biggest problem for Milwaukee is that six of their last nine opponents have shot 47% or better, and their last three opponents have shot 50% combined - not a good recipe on the road. Play on Chicago.
