Milwaukee is in double revenge mode after two losses to Chicago in December, and the Bucks have won their first two games under new coach Joe Prunty, including Friday's, 116-91, blowout against Brooklyn when Giannis Antetokounmpo had 41 points and 13 rebounds. Milwaukee held the Nets to 37.1 percent shooting while shooting 51.8 percent itself. The Bulls have lost three straight, including 108-103 at home to the Lakers when Chicago made just 35 of 93 shots. The road team has covered the spread the last five meetings and as often happens, the Bucks appear to have new life with the coaching change, at least temporarily. The Bulls are mired in last place in the Central Division and is going nowhere. Play the Bucks.
