Milwaukee at Chicago 8:00 ET
Bucks (+) over Bulls- I know most 'handicapper' like to use the zig-zag trend when playing the NBA Playoffs. (Playing against the winner the following game) This trend has not really worked all that well in the last decade winning just 53% of the time but are times to play the Game 1 loser and I believe this is one of them. In Game 1 the Bulls were aided by the return to form of Derek Rose who had one of his best games in years with 23 points and seven assists. Chicago also had a huge rebounding edge and I expect the Bucks to crash the boards hard tonight. Look for Milwaukee to bounce back with a point-covering effort. Take the BUCKS!
