It’s probably a few years too late, but the Chicago Bulls have finally picked a direction, and they bring an 11-game losing run into today’s matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Chicago has dropped the last three battles against this division rival, and my Bucks vs. Bulls predictions favor a gritty Milwaukee squad that’s refused to throw in the towel without Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Get the lowdown on the best NBA picks for Sunday, March 1.
Bucks vs Bulls prediction
Bucks vs Bulls best bet: Bucks -3.5 (-110)
The Milwaukee Bucks are still outside the play-in spots, but the supporting cast has rallied impressively lately. The Bucks are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games, and they’ve covered the spread in each of those victories.
But this pick is equally about the Chicago Bulls' miserable form. With a growing injury report and an eye on the draft, the Bulls are 1-9 ATS in their past 10 outings.
Milwaukee leads the season series 3-0, with all of those wins coming by a margin of 9+ points, and I’m laying the points with the visitors, who’ve picked up three straight Ws on their travels.

Bucks vs Bulls same-game parlay
The Bucks’ path to a road win starts with Ryan Rollins, who’s excelling in the lead guard role. Rollins averaged 20.9 PPG in February on 50% shooting, including a 21-point effort against Chicago.
He also made his 3-pointers at a 50% clip last month, and he’s ended up with 3+ made triples in eight of his past 13 contests. There will be openings to attack against a Bulls defense that’s allowed 120+ points in three of its last four outings.

- Rollins Over 2.5 threes
Our "from downtown" SGP: P for perfection
Doc Rivers will gladly accept offense from any source as Milwaukee tries to paper over Giannis’ absence. Kevin Porter Jr. averaged 8.1 APG last month, but his rebound tallies are more erratic, while Bobby Portis has finished with double-digit points in five of his last six games.
Bucks vs Bulls SGP
- Porter Jr. Under 5.5 rebounds
- Porter Jr. Over 7.5 assists
- Portis Over 10.5 points
- Porstin Over 5.5 rebounds
