Game summary

Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls comes in the NBA regular season on Friday 23 October 2026, with our pick on Milwaukee to win and our total view sitting around the average.

Why this pick?

Milwaukee Bucks are our winner pick, mainly because our model rates them above Chicago Bulls on team results and the players expected to play. The strongest point against Milwaukee is the injury report, which our assessment treats as a moderate drag. That concern is clearly outweighed by the rating gap: Milwaukee sit 25th of 30 and Chicago 30th, and Milwaukee also have home court, if only as a small edge. Both teams are 0‑1, Milwaukee losing 116‑128 at Washington and Chicago 92‑135 at Toronto, and Milwaukee have won three of the last five meetings. The call is a moderate one.

Total points: Chicago Bulls play at the fastest pace in the NBA and both teams' games produce more points per possession than typical, nudging the total up. The injury report lowers expected scoring, with Nic Claxton Out and Jordan Hawkins Questionable, so our view lands around the league average.
