Chicago is a big underdog but was outscored last season by just -1.4 points per game. They have a talented duo in Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine, who played well in the opener, a loss at New Orleans. The offense shot 48.8% from the field. Milwaukee is in a sandwich spot, opening the season with a win at Philadelphia and has a three-game road trip on deck starting Sunday. The Bucks didn't do much in the offseason to address the weakness with depth. In the opener, all the starters played 30-to-38 minutes. Two of the last three meetings between these teams went into overtime, a split with Chicago winning 120-113 and the Bucks prevailing 133-129. Play Chicago.
