Chicago Bulls DFS Spin
Bulls small forward DeMar DeRozan is second on the club in scoring this season. DeRozan is pouring in 24.9 points per game while shooting an efficient 50.8% from the field this year. DeRozan scored 42 points against the Bucks on December 28th and lit up Milwaukee for 36 points on November 23rd. With Khris Middleton’s status in doubt, DeRozan might be primed for another 30-point effort in Milwaukee on Wednesday.
Bulls power forward Patrick Williams is quietly putting together a nice season. Williams is averaging 10.1 points, 4 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game for Chicago this year. Williams is also knocking down 41.4% of his three-pointers on 3.3 attempts per game. He could be a nice cheaper option in DFS on Wednesday.
Milwaukee Bucks DFS Spin
Bucks small forward Khris Middleton missed Milwaukee’s game against Washington on Tuesday night due to “right knee injury management.” He’s officially listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game against Chicago. Bucks shooting guard Pat Connaughton sprained his right ankle in Tuesday night’s game and his status is currently unknown for Wednesday’s tilt with Chicago.
Bucks point guard Jevon Carter also missed Tuesday’s game against the Wizards, and he’s officially listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game. Bucks shooting guard Grayson Allen is nursing a right ankle sprain and he likely won’t be back until mid-April. Allen is averaging 10.4 points per game for the Bucks this season.

Bulls vs. Bucks NBA Prediction
Chicago has been good at bouncing back this year. The Bulls are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a double-digit loss at home and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. What’s more, the Bulls are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Milwaukee could potentially be missing up to four guard/wing players which is a problem when Chicago’s two leading scorers (Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan) are a guard and a wing. Milwaukee’s Jrue Holiday is an elite perimeter defender, but he can’t guard both DeRozan and LaVine at the same time. The Bulls have already beaten the Bucks twice this season, and I believe they’ll come close to doing that again on Wednesday.
