Coby White has dominated the Bucks since Damian Lillard joined the team. White scored at least 22 points in all three meetings with them last season and hung 35 points on them earlier this season. White hit seven three-pointers in that game and has plenty of upside in that department Wednesday with the Bucks having allowed the sixth-highest three-point shooting percentage in the league. It should also help White that the Bulls have played at the fastest pace in the league.
Nikola Vucevic is shooting 48.4% from behind the arc this season. In his last game, he nailed six three-pointers against the Pistons. When he faced the Bucks earlier this season, he went 4-for-9 from deep. The Bucks have allowed the sixth-highest three-point shooting percentage in the league, leaving Vucevic with a favorable opportunity to drain at least two triples again.
This number is rising, but I'd still play it at 20.5. Coby White erupted for 35 points in his lone previous matchup with the Bucks early this season, and he's scored 20-plus points in four of his last five games overall. The Bucks allow the second-most points to opposing shooting guards. This game has the highest total on Wednesday's NBA slate as the Bulls continue to lead the league in pace.
The Bulls were 9.5 points dogs to the Bucks earlier this season and won by 11. The Bucks have been far more bad than good this season and seem incapable of sustaining much. Bulls playing at a breakneck pace, which could be problematic for MIL. Seems like a lot of points to me. MIL is 1-3-1 ATS as a favorite of 5+ points (failing to cover by 20.5, 21.5, 29.5). And they are just 3-6-1 ATS as a favorite. Bulls have suffered blowout losses lately to the Cavs and Rockets - legit teams - but are 3-2 ATS in the last 5.
