Advance review: Bucks win straight five game; lose against……

The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Chicago Bulls, who are a struggling team.

When the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on Thursday night, they hope to win four straight games.

Milwaukee has won three straight games after falling to the Boston Celtics 116-119 on November 22.

Swift recuperation

Milwaukee’s five-game winning streak, which was a season high, ended with the loss to Boston. Milwaukee rebounded quickly, defeating the Washington Wizards 131–128 and then rallying to defeat the Portland Trail Blazers 108–102.

In an NBA In-Season Tournament match on Tuesday night, the Bucks defeated the Miami Heat, 131-124, to win their third straight game. Milwaukee was able to sweep East Group B and move on to face the New York Knicks in the quarterfinals of the knockout tournament thanks to their victory over Miami.

After averaging at least thirty points apiece in Milwaukee’s previous three victories, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard were outstanding.

The Bucks could move up to sole second place in the Eastern Conference standings with a second straight victory over the Bulls this season. On November 13, Milwaukee defeated Chicago 118-109 in their first meeting.

With identical 13-5 records, Milwaukee and the Orlando Magic are currently tied for second place. Boston’s 14-4 record puts them atop the East. This season, Chicago is 4-6 at home, while the Bucks are 5-4 on the road.

The Bulls, who have lost five straight games, are currently in 13th place in the East standings with a 5-14 card.

The Bucks are without Pat Connuaghton (ankle) and Jae Crowder (left adductor surgery).

The Bulls have listed Zach LaVine (foot), DeMar DeRozan (ankle), and Alex Caruso (toe) as questionable. Following a cartilage transplant, Lonzo Ball is recovering.
