The Milwaukee Bucks return to action on Wednesday as they’ll look for revenge over their I-94 rivals, the recently resurgent Chicago Bulls.
The last time the Chicago Bulls visited the Bradley Center, most Milwaukee Bucks fans were expecting their team to deliver the kind of dominant win that hasn’t always been forthcoming in games between the two Central Division rivals.
Unfortunately for them, Fred Hoiberg‘s team had other ideas. Heading into this game, that may prove to be a valuable lesson learned by a team who often play down to their competition. The Bucks already know that they can’t afford to underestimate or play below their best against the Bulls.
Having had to stew for a couple of days on a brutal collapse late in Saturday’s loss to the Charlotte Hornets, there’s a real chance the Bucks will come out with a point to prove on Tuesday too.

The Bucks will be hoping to have Giannis Antetokounmpo back after he missed that game due to soreness in his knee, and fresh off a visit to Chicago to take in the WWE with his family, the Greek Freak will be hoping to come back and have a big impact fresh off a chance to get some rest.
Heading into a tough stretch on the schedule, the Bucks certainly can’t afford any slip-ups and will have to be on their game from the opening tip.
With all of that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the action ahead, and highlight some potential keys to victory for both teams.
