Chicago Bulls (7-10) vs. Milwaukee Bucks (12-4)
The Chicago Bulls start a six-game road trip Wednesday, November 23, 2022, when they face off against the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. These two Central Division foes meet for the first time in 2022-23, and the Bucks open as 7-point favorites with a total of 218.5 points.
We’ll see a rematch of the 2022 Eastern Conference first-round playoffs when Milwaukee beat Chicago in five games. The Bucks cannot count on Joe Ingles (knee) and Khris Middleton (wrist) for Wednesday’s clash, while the Bulls are missing Lonzo Ball (knee).
The Chicago Bulls (7-10; 8-8-1 ATS) defeated the red-hot Boston Celtics 121-107 as 5.5-point underdogs this past Monday to close down a two-game homestand on a high note. The Bulls put an end to their four-game losing streak and snapped the Celtics’ nine-game winning streak. Six players scored in double digits including Zach LaVine, who finished with 22 points (5-for-10 from deep) and five assists on the night.
“Big time,” LaVine said. “We've lost a lot in a row and they've won a lot in a row. I think we're a really good team, but we go through little lapses or times where we play bad. That's how fast the game can change.”
