Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls
The Milwaukee Bucks (6-4, 5-5 ATS) dropping a pair of road games against Charlotte and most recently Heat return to Milwaukee to open a home-home series with the Chicago Bulls (5-6, 2-9 ATS). Bucks lead by Monta Ellis (20.2) and Brandon Jennings are netting 101.2 per/game while allowing the opposition 99.4 per contest. The Bulls without Derrick Rose in the line-up are scoring 94.3 per/game lead by Luol Deng (18.2) and Joakim Noah (14.5). Defensively Bulls are surrendering 94.1 points/game. Bucks backers will be hoping history does not repeat itself. Bucks are on a 3-11 ATS slide at home since last April, haven't had much of a home-court advantage against the Chicago Bulls of late posting an 0-4 SU/ATS mark the past two seasons and have even less success playing in Bulls back yard where they've won a single game in thirteen attempts (1-12 SU, 6-6-1 ATS).
