Milwaukee Bucks - 89.2 SIC Team Health Score
Milwaukee has dealt with injury issues for most of the season, but are getting healthy at the right time.
While Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton have missed time recently to rest minor injuries, the ProBasketballDocs are sure the trio will be ready for the playoffs.
Antetokounmpo is probable for the game with left knee soreness that tracks back to the Finals last season. He has looked unaffected when he plays and is making his case for MVP.
Backup small forward Pat Connaughton has returned from his wrist fracture and is back to playing his usual minutes for the team.
George Hill and Brook Lopez are also back in the lineup and performing well after their early season injuries.
To help increase bench depth and replace the limited role DeAndre Bembry played, the Bucks recently signed Argentine guard Luca Vildoza.
Milwaukee sits 2.5 games out of first place and a half-game behind the Celtics for second place.
Chicago Bulls - 82.4 SIC Team Health Score
Lonzo Ball is the lone starter still out for the Bulls, as rookie Patrick Williams is back from his wrist fracture and playing heavy minutes now to ramp up for the playoffs.
Zach Lavine has managed knee soreness late in the season and will miss Tuesday's contest. Lavine has missed just one game since the mid-February All-Star break.
Having Alex Caruso back from his wrist fracture has been a big boost for Chicago, especially on the defensive end. The Bulls rank 16th in opponents points allowed, but have improved in the season's final month.
Chicago is tied with Toronto for the fifth spot and sit 3.5 games above the Cavaliers in the seven spot.
Potential Plays:
Bucks -6 - With the Bulls' second scoring threat out, the Bucks should have no trouble shutting down Chicago and jumping out to an early lead.
Brook Lopez - O10.5 points - Lopez is back to his starter minutes and remains a threat from three. The Bulls rank 26th in opponent field goal percentage and three-point percentage.
