The Milwaukee Bucks will face the Chicago Bulls on 27th April 2022, in what will be the 5th game of their ongoing series in the 1st round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
The Bucks currently lead the series by 3-1, as they’ll hope to win the game 5 and qualify for the 2nd round of the playoffs, which will provide some rest to their players ahead of the next round.

With Zach Lavine set to miss this game due to health and safety protocols, all the pressure will be on DeRozan to lead his team, and we can see him having a good outing irrespective of the result.
Giannis will be locked in to make sure the series go no further, as he would love to win the series at his home court against an injury deplete Bulls team.
The Milwaukee Bucks should be able to get the job done quite easily, considering the unavailability of Zach Lavine for the Chicago Bulls.
