Giannis Antetokounmpo returns to the Milwaukee Bucks lineup as they square off with the Chicago Bulls for the 3rd time this season. Tip-off is set for 8:00 pm ET, and to make things a bit more interesting to watch I’ve prepared a same game parlay which is available below.
Don’t forget to also check our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Tuesday’s 4-game slate.
Let’s get into the Bulls vs Bucks game now!
Bobby Portis to score 20+ points (+310)
Grayson Allen over 1.5 made threes (-166)
Giannis Antetokounmpo to record 14+ rebounds (+176)
Parlay odds: +1617
Bobby Portis to score 20+ points (+310)
With Khris Middleton ruled out due to a wrist injury, the Bucks will have to find other options on offense and Bobby Portis has proved over the course of the season that he can be that guy. He’s averaged 15.1 points per game this year and although his scoring and minutes have dipped a bit this month, he is capable of stepping up when needed the most. The Bulls’ defense hasn’t inspired confidence lately, giving up 117.7 points per game over their last 3, so there could be plenty of opportunities for Portis to have a solid scoring night.

Grayson Allen over 1.5 made threes (-166)
Grayson Allen let me down the last time I had him in a same game parlay. He was just 1 point short of getting to double digits, though, and now it’s time for him to make amends. His 3-ball has been falling consistently over the past 9 games. He is shooting it at a 47.8% during that stretch and he has scored at least 2 threes for 6 games in a row. He is averaging 2.4 makes from deep on 47.5% shooting in March. The primary goal for the Bulls will be to stop Giannis, so that should leave plenty of room for the role players to excel. They are allowing 37.5% of makes from the perimeter in their last 3 games, that should be enough for him to make at least 2 shots from distance.
Giannis Antetokounmpo to record 14+ rebounds (+176)
Giannis was bothered by a knee problem and he sat out the game against Minnesota. Without him the Bucks allowed 138 points and were beaten by 19 points. Their interior defense was non-existent without him, but all that changes tonight as he returns to the lineup. He’s averaged 12.7 boards per game in his last 9 outings, and he’s averaging 14 of them in 2 games against the Bulls this season. He will be matching up with Nikola Vucevic for most of the night, and he just isn’t athletic enough to keep up with the Greek freak. Over the past 3 games the Bulls are giving up the 5th-highest number of rebounds per game in the NBA at 56.3, so expect Giannis to get to at least 14.
