CHICAGO BULLS (53-34)

at MILWAUKEE BUCKS (43-44)

NBA Playoffs
Eastern Conference - First Round
Tip-off: Thursday, 7:05 p.m. ET
Line: Chicago -3.0, Total: 187.0

The Bulls head to the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Thursday for a Game 6 meeting with the Bucks. Milwaukee has won two straight games in this series and if the team can win at home then it will force a Game 7. Jason Kidd’s group is motivated by the possibility of becoming the first ever team to win a series after trailing 3-0. The Bucks won Game 5 94-88 as 8-point underdogs on Monday and went an outstanding 16-for-16 from the free-throw line. PG Michael Carter-Williams and SG Khris Middleton are the players to watch for Milwaukee in this game. Both should be very confident after combining to score 43 points in Game 5. For the Bulls, the play of SF Mike Dunleavy could actually come a long way in determining who wins this game. Dunleavy was averaging 10.8 points per game in the first four games of this series, but he had zero in Game 5. He’ll need to hit some shots when called upon on Thursday. Some things that are worth keeping in mind for this game include that the Bucks are a putrid 0-8 against the spread when coming off of a road win over a division rival over the past three seasons. They are, however, 15-6 against the spread after playing three consecutive games as an underdog this season. Milwaukee has won-and-covered in two of its past three home meetings with Chicago.
