The Milwaukee Bucks will face the Chicago Bulls on 17th April 2022, in what will be the 1st game of the series between them in the 1st round of the NBA Playoffs 2022.
Milwaukee Bucks are one of the favorites to win the championship this season, as the defending champions will look to start their playoff run with a win at home.
The Bulls on the other hand have found themselves struggling a lot since the All-Star break, and their chances of getting something in this series are very low.
Bucks:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Nwora | SG | Sat, Apr 16 | Back | Game Time Decision |
Bulls:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matt Thomas | SG | Mon, Apr 11 | Lower Leg | Game Time Decision |
| Lonzo Ball | PG | Wed, Apr 6 | Knee | Out for the season |
This will be his first playoff appearance in his career, and he will be ready for it. We might see a big game from Zach Lavine, even though the Bulls’ chances of winning the game are quite low.
Everyone should expect Giannis to register monster numbers throughout the series, as the Bulls can’t guard him, and he will have a feast day to kickstart the playoffs for the bucks.
The Bucks will be the heavy favorites to get the job done in Game 1, as they are playing at home, and are much better than the Bulls.
