Match Preview: Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls
The Milwaukee Bucks will face the Chicago Bulls on 22nd April 2022, in what will be the 3rd game of their ongoing 1st round series in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
Currently, the series is leveled up at 1-1 as the action goes to the home court of the Chicago Bulls. Milwaukee was the favorite to win this series, but an injury to their star player has changed the trajectory of this series.
Bucks:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| George Hill | PG | Thu, Apr 21 | Abdomen | Expected to be out until at least Apr 24 |
| Khris Middleton | SF | Thu, Apr 21 | Knee | Expected to be out until at least May 5 |
Bulls:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matt Thomas | SG | Thu, Apr 21 | Lower Leg | Game Time Decision |
| Lonzo Ball | PG | Wed, Apr 6 | Knee | Out for the season |
Demar DeRozan had a great game last time around, and once again he will look to lead his team towards a win at their home court.
The Bulls can’t stop him, as his size and athleticism are unmatched by any Bulls player, and once again we can see him having another good game.
This will be a closely contested game, as the Bucks are missing Middleton and the Bulls can challenge them quite easily as they are at home, but the Bucks might edge this one out.
