Why The Bucks Could Cover The Spread

Injury Report: Khris Middleton (out)

Coach Mike Budenholzer’s team currently holds the fourth-best offensive rating and ninth-best defensive rating in the entire Association right before the playoffs.

Offensively, this team is led by their Big Three of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday, but Middleton will be taking the final night of the regular season off.

In addition to their dynamic offensive attack, the Bucks have both Giannis and Brook Lopez anchoring the paint on the defensive end of the floor. They are averaging 1.3 and 1.5 blocks per game, respectively, and Milwaukee doesn't give up many points in the paint. It also helps that Holiday is one of the best perimeter defenders in the entire NBA.

While Middleton is out on Sunday, it looks like Giannis and Holiday will at least play a little bit. It's unclear just how much they'll play, though. The Bucks are still alive for the No. 2 seed in the East, but the Brooklyn Nets would have to lose to the Cleveland Cavaliers to secure that spot. Coach Bud will likely keep an eye on the scoreboard in order to decide how much to play his stars.

Why The Bulls Could Cover The Spread

Injury Report: Zach LaVine (out), Nikola Vucevic (out), Tomas Satoransky (out), Daniel Theis (out), Troy Brown Jr. (out)

The Bulls' season is coming to an end as they no longer have an opportunity to get a spot in the play-in tournament. Because of this, Chicago's two stars in Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic will not be playing in this game.

With LaVine and Vucevic, among others, out, Coby White should get plenty of scoring opportunities. Lauri Markkanen will also look to finish his season strong heading into restricted free agency.

The key for Donovan’s team to cover the spread on Sunday against the Bucks will be to come in with the same energy as if this game was the first game of the season. Even without plenty of stars playing, the Bulls don't want to just roll over and quit.

Final Bucks-Bulls Prediction & Pick

The Bucks are the better offensive and defensive team by far when compared to the Bulls. With Chicago missing both of its star players, Milwaukee should be able to win this game and cover, even if Coach Bud decides to limit the stars who are playing.
