The Milwaukee Bucks continue to take the NBA by storm and at 45-14, they sit firmly at the top of the association. They are currently on a four-game streak and will be looking to extend it when they visit the United Center for a game against the Chicago Bulls. The Bucks have won their previous three matchups this season and will enter as the favorites to sweep the regular season series.
Match Details:
Milwaukee Bucks (45-14) vs Chicago Bulls (16-44)
When: 26th February 2019, 6:30 AM IST
Where: United Center, Chicago
The Milwaukee Bucks' perspective
The opposition teams do not seem to have any answer for the Bucks as they continue to dismantle the opposition teams. Coming off an easy 12-point win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Bucks will be looking to extend their win streak to five games in Chicago.
While Giannis Antetokounmpo is the cornerstone of this team, the contributions of the remaining roster are also invaluable. They have one of the best starting fives in the league and also have much-needed bench depth.
It is also worth mentioning that they recently added Nikola Mirotic just before the trade deadline and he will be a key asset, come playoffs.
The predicted Milwaukee Bucks' starting line-up:
Giannis Antetokounmpo (F), Khris Middleton (F), Brook Lopez (C), Malcolm Brogdon (G) and Eric Bledsoe (G)
The Chicago Bulls' perspective
The Chicago Bulls are having yet another bad season and are most likely to miss out on playoffs. At 16-44, they are one of the worst teams in the league. However, players like Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen have been impressive for the most part of the season.
The Bulls are surprisingly on a three-game win streak, including their shocking win over the Boston Celtics last night. Zach LaVine scored career-high 42 points while Markkanen also had his personal-best 35 points and 15 rebounds to help the team to victory.
The Predicted Chicago Bulls' starting line-up:
Lauri Markkanen (F), Otto Porter Jr. (F), Robin Lopez (C), Kris Dunn (G) and Zach LaVine (G)
How the things might unfold
The Bulls may be on a three-game win streak of their own in response to the Bucks' four-game win streak but this team is no match to the league-leading Bucks who are on a tear this season. They are expected to come down heavy on the Bulls and end their short win streak.
Prediction:
Bucks for the blowout win.
Guess the Lakers players!
