The Milwaukee Bucks are currently the third best team in the NBA Eastern Conference and they have a good chance of stealing second place against the Brooklyn Nets. In order to do that, the Nets have to lose their remaining game and the Bucks have to win against the Chicago Bulls. This team is coming in ready to fight in the playoffs enjoying a three-game winning streak and has only lost twice in the last ten matches. Giannis Antetokounmpo has to show up with his MVP form and he should get help from his wingmen, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday, to finish the job early.

The Chicago Bulls may have been out of playoff contention or even the play-in tournament but they have been using the downtime to polish their young tandem of Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. They also want to finish strong and give their home fans a glimpse of the future by giving the Milwaukee Bucks a good fight. This will be an interesting matchup but it will take more than those two to win. Coby White and Lauri Markannen need to be threats to spread out the floor. Daniel Theis has to support the interior along with Vucevic and not allow the reigning league MVP to run laps over them.
