Bucks vs. Bulls Prediction: NBA Pick, Odds, and Best Bets

The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Chicago Bulls as 3.5-point favorites with a total of 239.5 points in the NBA Cup group play. This matchup serves as a key test for two Eastern Conference teams exceeding preseason expectations.

Chicago Bulls Overview

The Bulls hold the top record in the conference at 6-1, despite missing shooting guard Coby White, who averaged 20.4 points last season but is sidelined with a calf injury this year. Point guard Josh Giddey is stepping up, leading Chicago in points and assists while recording two triple-doubles. Giddey is currently favored at +320 on FanDuel for the Most Improved Player award.

Milwaukee Bucks Insights

The Bucks entered the season with uncertainty, having added free agent center Myles Turner and lacking a clear plan at point guard after Damian Lillard’s season-ending injury. Giannis Antetokounmpo's future remains a subplot, with any struggles possibly fueling trade speculation.

Milwaukee started the season at 5-3, with coach Doc Rivers earning praise for adapting the halfcourt offense amid injuries. After point guard Kevin Porter Jr. got injured, Rivers assigned Ryan Rollins to fill the role, letting sharpshooters like Gary Trent Jr. and Green space the floor around Antetokounmpo’s ball-dominant play.

"Rivers tabbed Ryan Rollins to fill in at PG, while allowing sharpshooters Gary Trent Jr. and Green to remain off the ball and spread the floor around the ball-dominant Antetokounmpo."

Milwaukee is averaging strong offensive production despite challenges at point guard.
