Bulls vs. Bucks Predictions, Picks & Odds: NBA Wednesday, 11/20
There is a battle in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference today, and it is the Chicago Bulls versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Both teams are on the bottom of the division, but both teams are coming off of a victory. One will keep the momentum rolling as the other will be trying to figure out how to win.
There are players out and questionable in this pivotal game, but also All-Star legends on each side. The Bucks are miraculously -7.5-point favorites, but more on that later.
Chicago Bulls: Street Player
The Bulls have been streaky this season and are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference. However, they are only 3 games out of third place and have the roster to make a run in the playoffs.
There are playmakers at every level of their offense too. Coby White is a lethal guard, Zach Lavine is a mismatch for most forwards, and Nikola Vucevic has been one of our most successful bets due to his improved three-point ability.
Lavine is the street player, the slam dunk champion, and the explosive forward that can match Giannis Antetokounmpo. Look for him to have an impact in this game.
Milwaukee Bucks: What’s Made Milwaukee Famous…
The Bucks were once the team of the decade but have become the example of what not to do… although the Phoenix Suns pretty much did the same thing. Both franchises have not been back to a conference finals since their NBA Finals series against each other. What made them famous, has made a loser out of them too.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is day-to-day but seems to be that way everyday for the past three seasons, and he usually plays. They are putting up over 110 points per game which is decent, but are allowing over 112 points per game which is terrible. The Bulls allow over 122 points per game and this game could be a high scoring battle.

Bulls vs. Bucks Predictions & Picks Today: Wednesday, 11/20
Bulls vs. Bucks Prediction: SGP - Chicago +7.5 & Zach Lavine 20+ Points (+176 on DraftKings) *0.5 Unit
The Bulls have been given a hefty spread in a game they have an opportunity to win. It is the base of this same game parlay too, no tease needed. Chicago has a healthier offense, and if for some reason Antetokounmpo cannot play, this line will move drastically.
Zach Lavine could be leaned on heavily with fellow forward, Patrick Williams, likely not suiting up for this match. Lavine is one of the Bulls primary scores, and really does not need help or more opportunities to cover this prop. But a starter going out puts pressure on everyone to step up their game.
His point line is set at 20.5, so taking the alternate line drops the hook without sacrificing huge odds. He is averaging 21.6 points per game this season, and against a poor defense should earn his season average. Put a half a unit on this two-fold parlay today.
