The Chicago Bulls will travel to Milwaukee to take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday as two Eastern Conference powerhouses collide.
The Bulls, 42-29, are coming into this game with a desperate need for an uptick in form. They have lost seven of their last ten games and are fifth in the Eastern Conference.
The Bulls are less than five games behind leaders Miami Heat (47-25) and less than two games ahead of the Toronto Raptors (40-32). However, the team has done well this season and is expected to make their first postseason appearance in a long time.
Meanwhile, the Bucks, 44-27, are third in the East as they look to close in on the Miami Heat (47-25) and gain homecourt advantage. Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks have struggled for consistency issues all season. However, they seem to be peaking at the right time, winning eight of their last ten games, as the regular season draws to a close.
