CHI vs MIL Dream11: NBA is a wild wild sport because of not only how long the season is but also how many times the underdogs turn it around the favorites. See, the league features some of the best basketball players in the world and even if some teams are struggling, they are in the end fielding professional athletes who have made it through after a lot of hard work. And well, this is a cruel business, you can work, work, and work but a lot needs to click, imagine combining three superstars in Westbrook, James, and Davis and not even win half of the games! Anyway, to add to another grueling chapter, the Chicago Bulls will take on the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Bulls have been doing a great job this season and hauling in DeRozan has made a huge difference for the team. They have been struggling with a lot of injuries since January and this is a classic case of a team depending upon a singular player on most nights, and that has been DeRozan for the most parts.
The Bucks have been up-and-down at times but they still remain the favorite for me to win the East. Well, when you have an unstoppable force in the form of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the lanes are open inside and outside. Milwaukee will face fierce resistance in the East this time with the rise of many teams.
Host: Chicago Bulls Visitors: Milwaukee Bucks Match Timing: 5 March, @ 06:00 AM Venue: United Center
Strong Frontline for the Bucks, Bulls have two quality iso scorers The Frontline of the Bucks has been tremendous all season long. Giannis Antetokounmpo has continued to be a strong driver to the rim, and he has been scoring 25+ on a regular basis while also being an effective defender and rebounder. His ability to dish off assists opens up multiple opportunities for others. Really, the Bucks roster seems to be the most well-built for me when it comes to surrounding a superstar with the talent that complements them.
Khris Middleton is a terrific all-around scorer and we have seen him go for big nights during the postseason. Bobby Portis brings a lot of scoring and rebounding too and they have three strong players from the SF-C position. Jrue Holiday is a more than capable two-way perimeter guard and he has been slipping home 20+ points and 5+ assists on a regular basis while also reading the situations well when it comes to crunch time. Grayson Allen has the job of knocking down 3-4 shots a game and he has done his bit but although defensively, the bench is strong with Matthews and Ibaka, they don’t have a strong offensive combination off the bench. The bench will bolster once Pat
Connaughton, George Hill, and Brook Lopez return though. On the other hand, the Bulls usually are tracking wins on the back of DeMar DeRozan, someone who can dip in 30 or more on a regular basis at high efficiency, surely, he is an MVP-level player for the team. Zach LaVine has worked alongside DeMar DeRozan and he is a tremendous all-around scorer, hovering around the 25 points mark. The Bulls have also utilized Ayu Dosunmu well with the one-guard position slimmed down with the absence of all-around Guard Lonzo Ball and two-way perimeter rock in Alex Caruso.
Nikola Vucevic has been a huge factor in the middle for the Bulls and he has been the most available starter all season long. His rebounding and versatile scoring along with decent passing. Apart from that, Coby White has been huge off-the-bench creating a ton of offensive opportunities for himself and dishing a number of assists. JaVonte Green has been a decent presence at the wing but the team will need Patrick Williams back in the long run. The Bulls are on a three-game losing streak and they will face a lot of trouble versus a strong Bucks team.
