Bucks Look To Stay Strong At Home
The Milwaukee Bucks play host to the Chicago Bulls at Fiserv Forum on Friday evening.

This marks the second game of a three-game home stand for the Bucks (28-19), as they will look to build off a win in their last game and add to their, 15-8, home record. Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the team with monstrous numbers, as he is averaging 28.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 6.1 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals per game. Khris Middleton has been playing great lately, averaging 25.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks, over the last 10 games. Jrue Holiday was quiet in his first game back after a 10-day absence, as he finished with nine points, five rebounds and four assists, in the Bucks' most recent contest. The Bucks are averaging 112.0 points per game, which is fourth most in the league.

Meanwhile, this marks the first game of a three-game road trip for the Bulls (28-15), as they look to build off a win in their last game and add to their, 12-9, road record. Unfortunately, the Bulls continue to deal with injury trouble, as Lonzo Ball (knee), Javonte Green (groin), Derrick Jones (knee) and Zach LaVine (knee) will all remain sidelined. On the bright side, DeMar DeRozan continues his stellar play, averaging 22.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists, over the last 10 games. Nikola Vucevic is averaging 17.7 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks, over the last 10 games. Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White will continue to pick up extra playing time, filling in key minutes for their shorthanded squad. The Bulls are averaging 111.2 points per game, and they are shooting an average of 47.5 percent from the field, which is second best in the league.
