Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls: Current situation
Things are slowly shifting in the right direction for the Milwaukee Bucks following their disastrous start to the 2024-25 season. After their latest win over Houston the team is now 5-9, so they still have a lot of winning to do until we can say they’ve solved their issues. The injury situation is also improving, Damian Lillard just returned to the line-up following a concussion. Now we await the comeback of Khris Middleton who is yet to play a single minute this season.
Despite being the lesser talented team here, Chicago enters Wednesday’s game with a better record than the Bucks at 6-9. This is a vastly different Bulls team compared to last season, at least when it comes to style of play. It’s mostly the same roster, but head coach Billy Donovan has switched things up and now we see Chicago playing the fastest pace in the NBA. However, efficiency has been a problem on both ends and that is something they will have to look upon improving as the weeks go by.
Milwaukee Bucks Stats & Form
Milwaukee enters Wednesday’s game following a 101-100 win over the Houston Rockets in which Dame Lillard came up big in the clutch. Despite being just 5-for-17 from the field at that point, Lillard took it upon himself to score the winning layup vs Houston. The win gives head coach Doc Rivers a sigh of relief as there are already rumors circulating how the team is unhappy with the way he is coaching them. Milwaukee plays only East teams for the next 16 games, so they have a perfect opportunity to make up some ground in the Eastern Conference.
Chicago Bulls Stats & Form
The Bulls don’t have these type of issues, as nobody really expects them to battle for a playoff spot this year. More Bulls fans than not would sign off on the team finishing 9th, which is their current position in the Conference, which would mean a play-in spot. Unlike Milwaukee, they were not able to beat the Rockets in their last game. The defense has fallen off quite a lot, their last 2 opponents have put up 144 and 143 points on them.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls: Head-to-Head
The first meeting of the season happened on October 27th and it was the 2nd game of the season for both teams. Chicago was able to shock the world with a 133-122 win at Milwaukee, that was the start of the Bucks downfall at the beginning of the season. That loss ended a mini 2-game win streak for the Bucks in head-to-head meetings, they’ve been by far the better team here with 13 wins in 18 meetings.
Milwaukee Bucks – Chicago Bulls Odds
Backing a Bucks home win here would give you 8/13 odds, while some oddsmakers are willing to give odds of up to 8/5 for a Bulls road win here.
The point total for Wednesday’s game is set at 232.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls (20.11.2024)
Momentum is clearly on the Bucks side here as they finally have a streak going on. The win over Houston was their 3rd in a row at home, they’ll look to push that to 4 straight as they attempt to get revenge for that early season loss to Chicago. Their chances of doing so are quite high if you ask us. Chicago’s defense has been an absolute disaster these past 7 days or so with opponents dropping 120+ points against them in 4 of their last 5 games. They could struggle to keep the offensively talented Bucks at bay here. Rebounding has been the Achilles heel for this Bulls team all year long. Opponents are grabbing 55.1 boards per game against them only two teams in the entire league allow more this season. Dealing with Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo down low will be a tough task for Nikola Vucevic who is known for not being the strongest of centers in the NBA. We also have to consider the revenge factor. Milwaukee does not want to go down 2-0 in the season series here, so they will be highly motivated to get one back over a Bulls team that is really struggling to get stops here. We recommend backing the Bucks to cover.
