This Friday night, the two Eastern Conference contenders are facing each other for a regular-season matchup. The Milwaukee Bucks will be hosting the game for the Chicago Bulls and it will surely be a sight to see. The Bucks just got out of a slump where they lost 4 out of 5 games, and they are on a 2-game winning streak right now after beating arguably the strongest team in the Eastern Conference, Miami Heat.

Whereas for the Chicago Bulls, they are having a drought of 0-3. Yet, both teams are currently still sitting in the top 5 of the Eastern Conference, thanks to their shining performances at the first half of the season. The Bulls are sitting in the 3rd position of the Eastern Conference with a record of 39-24, and tailing behind them, the Bucks are sitting on 4th with 38 wins and 25 losses.

Chicago Bulls

DeMar DeRozan went from what many people thought was a bad trade, to an MVP-calibre player really quick. The mid-range god has been performing extraordinarily for the Bulls all season and he is currently leading the team in PPG (28.1) and APG (5.1).

We also cannot forget how the Bulls have the young star Zack LaVine who is averaging 24.5 PPG with 48.2 FG%. However, Chicago is currently plagued with injuries. Their key formula Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso have been out of the game for some time due to injury, and they are not going to play for the Friday night matchup against the Bucks.

Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo was the key contributor to Bucks’s championship run last season. He currently has the highest Player Efficiency Rating in the history of the league and that is the barometer of how great Giannis has been this season. However, remembering how the Bucks have been getting inconsistent results, Giannis’s brilliant performance proves the Bucks have been an underperforming team.
