1.88Tip and bets
Chicago did not quite live up to the fans' expectations at the start of the current championship. The Bulls, as has been the tradition in recent seasons, are in the top ten and will definitely fight for a direct ticket to the playoffs. Milwaukee started the tournament terribly, but then corrected the situation. However, the team two main stars are not ready one hundred percent again. And with Lillard and Antetokounmpo tired, the team from Wisconsin is not ready to compete on equal terms with strong opponents. In this situation, it is worth betting on the home team. The home factor has not yet been canceled.
Our prediction is a Chicago win with overtime at 1.98
Bet on individual total
Chicago will put its best lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, the team from Illinois shows good performance this season. The average score is 118.2. And in home games it is a little lower - 115.6. And this time the Bulls will be able to load the opponent basket decently.
Our prediction is Chicago individual total is over 117.5 points including overtime at 2.05
Bet on the first half
Chicago basketball players will start the game in a not very good mood after an offensive defeat to Boston. There is no doubt that the Bulls will try to achieve victory in order to rehabilitate themselves before their fans. Donovan team players will show who is the boss on the court from the first minutes of the match and seize the initiative.
Our prediction is a Chicago win in the first half of the game at 2.16
