OddsChecker: Take the Bulls on the money line
It writes: "Now, Milwaukee had no problems at United Center earlier this year. They won both of their games in Chicago. However, Chicago wasn’t healthy in either of those games. In the first meeting, the Bulls were without their best defensive player in Alex Caruso. In the second they were without star guard Zach LaVine. Both will be in the lineup for Game 3. Of course, Milwaukee has the great equalizer here. Giannis Antetokounmpo is more than capable of stealing a road game or two on his own. That’s especially true if Chicago isn’t getting 41 points from DeRozan like they did in Game 2. This game is going to be a slugfest, with two heavyweights going punch for punch in one of the most electric arenas in the NBA. When push comes to shove though, the momentum that the Bulls grabbed in Game 2 is going to be what pushes them just over the edge and gets them that vital victory in Game 3."
