Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls 11/18/19 NBA Betting Odds and Preview

The Milwaukee Bucks hit the road and travel to the Windy City for a Monday night date with their Central Division rivals Chicago Bulls at the United Center.

The Bucks are the #1 team in the Central Division with a 9-3 SU record. Milwaukee heads to Chicago looking for their fourth straight victory. The Bulls head home with back to back losses and defeats in five out of his last seven games played. Chicago is 4-9 SU on the season and they are 4th in the Central Division.

Bucks are Rolling

The Milwaukee Bucks are among the NBA betting favorites to win the NBA titles this season and they rolling right now with a record of 9-3 SU which is #1 in the Central Division. The Bucks head to this Monday contest with a three-game winning streak and they have won seven out of their last eight games played.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is having another Freakish season with 30.1 points 14.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. Eric Bledsoe is scoring 17.0 points while Brook Lopez is also adding 10.9 points and 2.2 blocks per game. Milwaukee will be without Khris Middleton who is averaging 18.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game this season.

The Bucks are the #1 scoring team in the NBA this season at 118.8 points per game. Milwaukee is also the top-ranked rebounding team in the league at 52.5 boards grabbed per contest and they are 16th in passing at 23.9 assists per game. The Bucks are allowing 109.7 points per game this season.

Frustration Mounting

The Chicago Bulls are off to a slow start to the 2019 season with their 4-9 SU record which is just 4th in the Central Division. The Bulls head to this game with just two wins in their last seven games and are currently on a two-game losing skid. Frustration has been mounting in the locker room with star guard Zach LaVine expressing displeasure about their offense.

In their last game played. LaVine scored 36 points but the team shot just 35.2% from the floor and 23.1% from behind the three-point arc. Chicago also committed 20 turnovers against the Nets who beat the Bulls despite playing without Kyrie Irving and Caris Lavert last Saturday.

The Bulls are ranked 20th in the NBA in scoring at 107.7 points per game this season. Chicago is 23rd in rebounding at 43.9 boards grabbed per contest and 21st in passing at 22.5 assists per game. The Bulls are allowing the 13th most points in the league this season at 111.0 points per game.

Who Wins?

Milwaukee is 7-1 SU in their last eight games played. The Bucks are 5-1 SU in their last six games played on the road. Chicago is 5-15 SU in their last 20 games played. The Bulls are 2-4 SU in their last six games played at home. Head to head, the Bucks are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games played against the Bulls and have won the last seven meetings between these two teams.

The Bulls have lost five out of their last seven games including their last two. Their offense is struggling and star guard Zach LaVine is frustrated. Chicago is coming off a loss to the Brooklyn Nets who played without Kyrie Irving and Caris Lavert. They will be facing a Milwaukee team that will be without Khris Middleton.

Milwaukee is off to a 9-3 start and Giannis Antetokounmpo has looked better with an improved outside shot. Eric Bledsoe and Brook Lopez will be there to provide the Greek Freak with offensive support. I also expect Brook’s twin brother Robin to play well against his former team.

The Bucks have beaten the Bulls in their last seven meetings including a nine-point win last week. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 38 points and grabbed 16 rebounds against Chicago last week and with no one in Chicago can contain him, I think Giannis is going to have that kind of night here. I’m picking the Milwaukee Bucks to beat the Chicago Bulls on 11/18/19.

Other Bets to Make

The Bucks are 1-4 ATS in their last five games played. Milwaukee is 4-4 ATS in eight home games played this season and they are also 4-2 ATS in their last six games played against the Eastern Conference. The Bulls are 4-2 ATS in their last six games played. Chicago is 3-3 ATS in six home games played this season and 4-2 ATS in their last six November games. Head to head, the Bucks are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games played against the Bulls. Milwaukee is 6-0 ATS in their last six home games against Chicago.

The Bucks have outscored the Bulls by 5.2 points per game in their last 10 meetings and 11 points per game in their last three head to head encounters. The Bulls can’t match the Bucks in offense and I don’t think Chicago has the defense to stop them as well. The Bucks beat the Bulls by nine points in Milwaukee last week. Although this game will be in Chicago, the Bulls are just 2-4 SU at home.
