Chicago at Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks are young and talented and emerged a year early last season, extending the Boston Celtics to seven games in the playoffs. This team has improved into a serious contender to come out of the East. They obviously were not going to continue to play as they did in their 7-0 start, and that has them a bit overrated as they have dropped four of seven. This is a good shooting team but the defense has been missing over their last five games where they have allowed each opponent to shoot 46% or better. Chicago has gotten enough stops in the defensive end to hang tough, especially with Milwaukee doing little on the defensive end of late. Take the points on Chicago.
