It’s the last day of NBA action before the All-Star Weekend festivities begin in Salt Lake City. We have a thriller in the Eastern Conference as the Milwaukee Bucks take their 11-game win streak to the United Center to battle the Chicago Bulls. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 pm ET on TNT and I’ve prepared a Bucks vs Bulls Same Game Parlay which is available below.

Milwaukee Bucks 11+ win margin over Chicago Bulls (+150)
The Bucks — owners of the longest current active win streak at 11 wins in a row — head to Chicago for a date with the team they are 0-2 SU against this season. The Bucks got 40 points from Jrue Holiday and 36 from Giannis Antetokounmpo in their OT win over Boston. Milwaukee has a 16-4 SU record in the last 20 meetings with Chicago and they’ve covered in 13 of 15 visits to the United Center.
Chicago has dropped 5 games in a row and there’s also a good chance they’ll be without leading scorer DeMar DeRozan, who is dealing with a thigh injury. Without him, they have only 1 win in 5 games this season, with their scoring average dropping to just 108.5 points per game. Against Central Division opponents the Bulls have won once in 6 games, and in 3 of their last 5 overall they’ve failed to crack the 100-point mark. If they were playing any other team in the league I’d hesitate to bet against them, but the Bucks are just on a different level right now and will look to head into the all-star break on a high note with a big road win here.

Giannis Antetokounmpo 2+ made threes (+250)
I know it’s probably not the most popular bet to wager on, but Giannis has shown improvement from three-point land this season. In January, he shot the ball 34.5% from downtown, and although that is down a bit in February he isn’t discouraged by that. He’s made at least 1 three in his last 3 games, plus over his last 11 he’s drained a couple of them 4 times. In his last 2 games against the Bulls, Giannis has dropped 36 and 45 points, taking 27 and 39 shots. That’s a pretty high volume of shots to take, even for a player like him.
He’s had 5 games in his career against the Bulls where he’s made at least 2 threes, which is also encouraging here. The Bulls are a team that’s focused a lot more on guarding their paint, rather than stopping teams from getting hot from three. They are only 13th in the NBA allowing 34.7% of made threes in home games this season, and with Milwaukee making 18 and 17 of them in their last 2 games, I expect them to let it fly from distance here as well. If Giannis makes 1 early there’s a really good chance of him making 2 of them here.
