Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: March 26 vs Chicago Bulls
By Ti Windisch
The Milwaukee Bucks can sweep a division rival with a win over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday afternoon in Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls are on opposite paths right now. After holding a low playoff seed for much of the regular season, the Bulls are declining quickly.
Chicago has lost Dwyane Wade for the rest of the regular season, and Jimmy Butler is struggling to keep the Bulls running without him. Although it looked like a pretty solid move at the time, Chicago misses Doug McDermott and the team definitely misses Taj Gibson, both of whom were traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder at the NBA trade deadline.

Now the Bulls sit a game and a half outside of the playoffs, tied in record with the also-disappointing Detroit Pistons. If the Bulls don’t get their act together soon, they will be lottery-bound for the second straight season.
Milwaukee, on the other hand, is a team on the rise. The Bucks have won eight of their last 10 games and sit at sixth in the East, no games behind the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks own the season series and thus the tiebreaker, but if the Bucks gain a game on them they could move into fifth.
To see how either of these teams could come away with a victory that both of them want on Sunday afternoon, we’ll look at major keys to success for each of them. Then it’s time to highlight a Bull to watch, followed by some predictions on the game’s final score and victor.
