The Chicago Bulls will welcome the Milwaukee Bucks looking to earn only their sixth victory in the NBA this season. The two teams are second and 13th in the Eastern Conference with Chicago in the bottom half of the standings. The Chicago Bulls are struggling and currently possess the third-worst record in the East and fifth-worst in the entire NBA. They have lost their last five games and were defeated 124-97 by the Boston Celtics last time out. That loss saw them exit the In-Season Tournament at the group stage without winning any of their four matches. Billy Donovan’s charges have so far compiled a 5-14 record. Four of their five wins have however come against teams in the East and this should give them confidence to cause an upset. The Bulls are averaging 106.2 points a game with 21.3 of those being scored by DeMar DeRozan.

The Milwaukee Bucks won 118-109 in the first of four scheduled meetings with the Bulls two weeks ago at home. That victory extended their winning streak against their soon-to-be hosts to three games. This coupled with their form this season should have Adrian Griffin’s men confident of putting more pressure on Conference leaders Boston. The Bucks have the second-best record in the Conference and the third-best in the entire league. They have won 13 of 18 games and are a game back on the Celtics. Friday’s visitors, who are averaging 120.9 points a game, have won their last three fixtures. They defeated the Miami Heat 131-124 last time out to win their In-Season tournament group and advance to the quarterfinals. Their two stars, Damian Lillard and Giannis Atetokounmpo both scored over 30 points in the away victory. Giannis is averaging 30.1 points a game which is the fifth best total in the league.
