The Chicago Bulls (4-6) will look to spoil the Milwaukee Bucks’ (5-4) three-game winning streak at the Fiserv Forum when they clash on Monday night. Tip-off is at 8 p.m. EST.

The Bulls hope to have All-Defensive Team member Alex Caruso back in action after he missed Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons due to an injured toe. On the other hand, the Bucks expect to have superstar guard Damian Lillard back after missing the last two games because of a calf issue.

Keep momentum going

The Bulls have momentum on their side right now after they won over the Detroit Pistons, 119-108, on Monday night. Although DeMar DeRozan was the star of the show, scoring 29 points and swatting away four shots, the Bulls got plenty of help from the reserves led by Ayo Dosunmu and Andre Drummond.

Now, Deebo hopes to use that momentum to head to the Fiserv Forum and hopefully get a win over the reeling Bucks.

“We lost a tough one to a great Phoenix team the other day that would’ve gave us a big energy going into these games, but we passed that one. We had to pay Detroit back for getting us at their place, now we have another opportunity to go down and play against an extremely talented Milwaukee Bucks team,” said DeRozan.

Bucks are looking for a bounceback

The greatness of Giannis Antetokounmpo is apparently not enough these days to get the Bucks wins. After scoring 54 points against the Indiana Pacers on Friday, Giannis put up 35 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, four steals, and two blocks against the Magic on Saturday. Both games ended up with losses.

After the loss to the Magic, Giannis did not hesitate to call out his teammates and implore them to be better on defense.

"We have to take it up a notch," Giannis said. "This is not who we are. This is not the Milwaukee Bucks. We gotta guard people."
