NBA: Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks Injury Reports, Predicted Lineups, and Starting 5s

On Wednesday night, the Chicago Bulls will face the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum in a game that they must win. After winning their previous match-up on the road, the Bucks currently lead the series 3-1. In Game 4, DeMar DeRozan was ineffective, shooting only 40% from the field and missing all of his three-point attempts. With the exception of a three-point advantage early in the first quarter, Zach LaVine and Patrick Williams combined for 44 points, the Bulls were unable to get ahead — throughout the game.

Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo had a double-double with 32 points and 17 rebounds, while Grayson Allen chipped in with 27 points off the bench. In just 29 minutes, Allen hit six three-pointers. The Bucks cruised to a 119-95 victory on the road, putting themselves in a position to close out the series at home in Game 5. For the most part, the Bucks have looked like the superior team, but the Bulls have shown flashes of brilliance. To rekindle their prospects of a deep playoff run, the Bulls must improve their defensive effort.
