Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls Preview and Prediction for Oct. 12 | 2025 NBA Preseason

The Milwaukee Bucks visit the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on Sunday as part of a six-game preseason schedule. The Bucks and Bulls are playing their third preseason game and have the same 2-0 record. Both teams have looked good after a busy summer.

The Bucks have wins over the Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons, with Giannis Antetokounmpo out due to conditioning issues. Antetokounmpo had COVID-19 before training camp and was unable to ramp up his preparations. There's also a lot of trade rumors surrounding him close to the season opener.

Meanwhile, the Bulls have two wins against the Cleveland Cavaliers in a home-and-home series. Matas Buzelis has been impressive for Chicago in the preseason and could be primed for a breakout season. Josh Giddey also had a really good game on Thursday.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Chicago Bulls Prediction

If the Bucks have Giannis Antetokounmpo on Sunday, he'll be the best player on the court. But since it's the preseason, both coaches are likely using the end of their roster in the final quarter. Nevertheless, the prediction is a win for the Bulls.
