The model knows the Bucks are keyed by an MVP-level player in Giannis Antetokounmpo. He is averaging 30 points and 17 rebounds per game in the series, and Antetokounmpo produced 29.9 points and 11.6 rebounds per game in the regular season. He is the centerpiece of an elite offense, with the Bucks scoring 114.3 points per 100 possessions in the regular season. Milwaukee finished in the top five in scoring efficiency and three-point shooting, with strong marks inside the arc and in free throw creation.

The model also knows the Bulls are led by a pair of explosive scorers. DeMar DeRozan averaged 27.9 points per game during the regular season and is putting up 29.5 points per game in the series. Zach LaVine is also capable of a 40-point eruption at any moment, and the Bulls scored 112.7 points per 100 possessions during the regular season. Chicago is also enjoying success on defense against Milwaukee, holding the Bucks to fewer than a point per possession.
