It's the last day of NBA action before the All-Star weekend festivities begin in Salt Lake City. We have a thriller in the Eastern Conference as the Milwaukee Bucks take their 11 game win streak to the United Center as they take on the Chicago Bulls. Tip-off is scheduled for 7.30 pm on TNT, I've prepared a Same Game Parlay which is below.

Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
Milwaukee Bucks 11+ Win Margin (+150)
Owners of the longest current active win streak at 11 wins in a row head to Chicago for a date with the team they are 0-2 SU against this season. The Bucks got 40 points from Jrue Holiday and 36, plus 13 rebounds from Giannis in their OT win over Boston. Milwaukee has a 16-4 SU record in the last 20 meetings with Chicago and they've covered in 13 of 15 visits to the United Center. Chicago has dropped 5 games in a row, there's also a good chance they'll be without leading scorer DeMar DeRozan who is bothered by a thigh injury. Without him they have only 1 win in 5 games this season, with their scoring average dropping to just 108.5 points per game. Against Central Division opponents the Bulls have won once in 6 games, and in 3 of their last 5 overall they've failed to crack the 100 point. If they were playing any other team in the league I'd hesitate to back against them, but he Bucks are just on a different level right now and will look to head into the all-sta r break on a high note with a big road win here.
