- Total (O/U): Bucks o233.5 (-112) vs. Bulls u233.5 (-110)
(Note: Odds are correct at the time of writing and likely to change. Keep an eye out for the recent odds)



With his points over/under set at 34.5, Giannis Antetokounmpo is scoring 32.7 points per game on average this season. Antetokounmpo is poised for another outstanding effort as Damian Lillard may miss his third straight game. Nonetheless, it is advised to wager on "The Greek Freak" to score fewer than 34.5 points in their matchup with the Chicago Bulls.
For Monday's game, Zach LaVine's points over/under is set at 21.5 with even odds. LaVine can heat up quickly, as evidenced by the fact that he has scored 22 points or more in three of his last five games. It looks safer to bet on him to score more than 21.5 points.
Against the Bucks, Nikola Vucevic is predicted to score less than 18.5 points. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez could pose a threat to him, even though he has scored 19 points or more in two of his last five games. The recommended bet is on Vucevic to score 18 points or less.
Coby White is favoured to score at least 16 points, with an over/under of 15.5 points. His season average of 17.7 points per game makes it reasonable to wager on the Bulls guard to score more than 15.5 points, even though he has fallen short of this total in three of his previous six games.


The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to defeat the Chicago Bulls, even if they face potential lineup challenges. Giannis Antetokounmpo's exceptional performances have propelled him into the MVP discussion. The projection leans toward a Bucks victory, with the total score likely exceeding 233.5 points.


The match between the Bucks and the Bulls will take place on December 23, 2024, at 8:00 pm ET. It will take place at the United Center in Chicago.
