Milwaukee (33-38 ATS) has won eight of its last nine games – including six straight – before falling to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 119-138, on Saturday. The odds might change against the Bucks depending on the availability of All Star and Most Valuable player candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was listed as day-to-day due to a sore knee.

Chicago has lost their last three games and seven of the last 10 after absorbing a 102-129 setback to the Phoenix Suns on Friday to fall to the No5 position but just 1 1/2 games ahead of No6 Cleveland (41-31).
