Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: January 28 at Chicago Bulls

The Milwaukee Bucks travel to the United Center on Sunday, looking for their first win of the season against their I-94 rivals.

While the current Milwaukee Bucks season has been filled with its share of ups, downs and surprises, perhaps no aspect of their play has been more puzzling than the way the Bucks have played the Chicago Bulls.

Through two meetings so far, the Bucks are yet to pick up a win against a young Bulls team that finds itself at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.

In spite of occasional runs of positive results throughout the year, the Bulls aren’t the kind of team who should generally be getting the better of the Bucks, but Milwaukee’s inconsistencies have opened up the door for Chicago up until this point.

Over the past seven days there have been plenty of positive signs for Milwaukee. In games against the Suns and Nets, the Bucks performed impressively under the guidance of interim head coach Joe Prunty.

Even more importantly from that game against Brooklyn, Giannis Antetokounmpo returned from a week off due to knee soreness and produced one of his most dominant performances of the season to date.

With all of that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the action ahead, and how things might play out on Sunday as the Bucks visit Chicago.
