Ryan Dodson | Staff Writer

The Chicago Bulls (9-14) take on the Milwaukee Bucks (15-7) Monday with tip-off from Fiserv Forum set for 8 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Bulls vs. Bucks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Bulls have won 4 in a row — a streak that began with a 120-113 win over these Bucks Nov. 30. Chicago most recently defeated the San Antonio Spurs 121-112 Friday. F DeMar DeRozan, F Patrick Williams, C Nikola Vucevic and G Coby White each had 20 or more points. G Zach LaVine missed that tilt, and he's out for this one as well.

The Bucks have been off since falling to the Indiana Pacers, 128-119, in the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament Thursday. The Bucks are 10-2 at home this season and will look to exact some revenge on the Bulls for their loss Nov. 30. F Giannis Antetokounmpo has at least 30 points in 3 straight games.

Bulls at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 115, Bulls 105

Moneyline

Without LaVine, I don't give the Bulls much of a chance in Milwaukee. However, there's an even slimmer of a chance I take the -550 ML.

This is a game I look for Giannis to distribute more. He still may get his 30, but his 32.5 points line is too high to me. The Bucks could roll and pull starters early as well.

Take GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO UNDER 32.5 POINTS (-125).

Against the spread

This is where it gets tricky. This is a huge spread, and the Bulls beat the Bucks and lost by 9 in the other affair. The Bulls won 2 games, including 1 in this building last year, and got blown out in the others.

It could go either way, but I'll take the BULLS +11.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over is just 3-7 in the last 10 meetings between these teams. It cashed in the last one, but that game needed overtime. The Under was on a 3-game cash streak before that. The Bulls are 7-3 O/U over the last 10 overall, but their highest total was 225.5.

LEAN UNDER 232.5 (-105).
