Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls 18.04.2022
Reigning NBA Champions Milwaukee Bucks will begin the defence of their title by hosting Chicago Bulls at the Fiserv Forum in their 1st Round match-up early Monday morning. They seemed to deliberately favor this particular matchup, opting to rest all their starters in the last regular-season game which they lost, dropping to third place to face Chicago instead of the 7th seed Brooklyn Nets
Chicago’s new acquisitions this season set them off to a sizzling start to the season and they at some point led the standings in the East. They however faded away as the season progressed, beset by injuries to their key players including Lonzo Ball who is out for the rest of the season.
Milwaukee are massive favourites to pick up the win given the Bull’s pathetic record against top teams. We however feel we could be in for a high scoring encounter here with Antetokoumpo (Bucks) and Derozan (Bulls) ranking among the top 10 scorers in the league.
Tip: Total Over 222.5 Points
