Randy’s Pick

The Chicago Bulls got a feel good win last night to stop the bleeding but beating the Pistons doesn't move the needle much. The Bulls have still lost 5 of their last 8 games overall and have many believing that moves are coming at some point. Until a winning streak is formed, the Bulls are a tough sell. The Milwaukee Bucks have some tough losses on their resume as well and their defense has been a mess, but Damian Lillard is expected to return and that should help. I don't want much to do with the Bulls. Give me the Bucks and the chalk.
