Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Oct. 12 | 2025 NBA Preseason

The Milwaukee Bucks continue their preseason against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. The Bucks are 2-0 after wins over the Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat in their opening two games. Giannis Antetokounmpo wasn't available, but impressive runs from their bench and young players got the job done.

Meanwhile, the Bulls are also 2-0 after surprising the Cleveland Cavaliers in a back-to-back showdown. Their young core stepped up to the occasion ahead of a committed rebuild this season. Sophomore Matas Buzelis has spearheaded their charge with a combined 20 points and 10 rebounds in 37 minutes across the two games.

Chicago is a slim -1-point favorite to win with a -115 money line. Expected to play their usual starters and rotation pieces, the Bulls will have the upper hand. It helped them beat the Cavaliers and could come in handy against the Bucks.

Milwaukee, meanwhile, might be at full strength, too. However, their players' minutes restrictions might be stricter compared to the Bulls.
