The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, seeking to end a five-game losing streak. This matchup occurs amidst significant NBA trade deadline activity and speculation surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks are currently 11 games under .500 and rank 12th in the Eastern Conference.
The Chicago Bulls are also struggling, having lost four of their last five games. They enter this contest having recently traded starting center Nikola Vucevic to the Boston Celtics. Further roster adjustments saw Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric traded, with Mike Conley Jr. and Jaden Ivey acquired.
Milwaukee has lost seven of their last eight games. Antetokounmpo's availability is uncertain due to a soleus strain aggravation, with reports indicating he may desire a trade. The Bucks hold a 9-12 home record, while Chicago is 9-15 on the road.
This game marks the final regular-season meeting between the Bucks and Bulls for the 2025-26 season, barring a playoff encounter. Milwaukee won the previous two matchups this season, averaging 35 points from Antetokounmpo.
