Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/27/25

The Milwaukee Bucks look set to be boosted with the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo tonight, with the Greek forward not having played for over 20 days. The team needs his services too, having picked up just 3 wins over the last 10 games. Do not be surprised to see him on a minute’s restriction, which could really limit their chances against the red-hot Chicago Bulls. Tonight’s hosts have picked up 5 straight wins and now have the second longest active win streak in the league. They also come into the game with a relatively clean bill of health, with only rookie Noa Essengue currently listed as unavailable. With the depth available to them, they should deal with the fact that it is the second game of a back-to-back for both teams better than their opponents.

Even with the Greek superstar in the lineup, the Bucks have been far from dominant, with 9 wins and 8 losses in those games. One of their main issues is the lack of scoring in the backcourt. Ryan Rollins looked set to have a breakout campaign for them, but he has hit a cold spell, managing 20 or more points just once in his last 8 games. The Bulls have no such issues in the backcourt, with the combination of Josh Giddey and Coby White providing them with plenty of playmaking and scoring from those positions. Look for them to utilize this to come away with a win here and cover a relatively small spread.
