Bulls Look To Get Big Edge Over Bucks

The Chicago Bulls lead this series 2-0 and with a win tonight they will be one game away from sweeping the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks are looking for answers to a very complex riddle. They have successfully found a way to shut down Pau Gasol, he is 9-29 on shooting over the first two games, by double teaming him. However, the Duo of Jimmy Butler, who is averaging 28 points a game, and a healthy Derrick Rose is proving to be too much down the stretch for the Bucks.

The Bulls are -3-point favorites against the Bucks. Chicago covered the spread as 8-point favorites in Game 1 and Game 2.

Chicago is finally looking like the Eastern Conference Contender we thought they would be on-and-off this season. They will be without their sixth man, Nikola Mirotic in this game, but Kirk Hinrich will be returning, making his first series appearance.

Chicago is 5-1 against the spread over their last six games and have won five games in a row straight up. They are 4-2 against the spread in their last six road games.

The Bucks averaged the lowest season scoring season totals of any other team in the playoffs. In this series they are averaging 86.5 points per game. With those types of numbers it is hard to beat a team like the Bulls.

The Bucks are 2-4 against the spread over their last six games. They are 4-7-1 against the spread over their last 12 games played at home.

The total for this game is set at 187 points. In Game 2, UNDER bettors were sent to the window. The UNDER is 1-1 in this series, but during the regular season, the UNDER bettors made money all four times these two teams met.
