The NBA Playoffs are almost upon us, as all the basketball fans around the world look forward to the best month of the season, with teams fighting to win the Championship.
In the 1st round of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, The Milwaukee Bucks will be up against the Chicago Bulls, where the defending champions will face the team that has qualified for the playoffs after a long time.
This is the matchup between the 3rd and 6th seed of the Eastern Conference, where the Milwaukee Bucks will have the home-court advantage as they finished the regular season with a better record than the Chicago Bulls.
Bulls:
The Milwaukee Bucks are the defending champions of the NBA, and they are in a good situation to repeat as the champions again. Giannis is quite arguably playing like the best player in the world and he is locked in to bring another championship to Milwaukee.
A player like Giannis will be hard to guard for the Chicago Bulls, as they don’t have the personnel who could stop him, which is why he will be the most impactful player in this series.
The Chicago Bulls started the season really well, but injuries to important players have derailed their season completely. Lonzo Ball who is the point guard of the Bulls is out for the season due to a knee injury and that makes the task harder for the Bulls to overcome the Bucks.
Throughout the season, the Bulls have not defeated good teams, which is why their chances of making the 2nd round are very slim, but we have to keep an eye on the duo of Demar DeRozan and Zach Lavine as they could destroy any team whenever they want.
