After three games on the road, the Chicago Bulls are heading back home. Chicago and the Milwaukee Bucks will face off in a Central Division battle at 9 p.m. ET on Friday at United Center. The Bulls have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with Milwaukee and are hoping to record their first win since Dec. 26 of 2017.
Chicago ended up a good deal behind the New York Knicks when they played on Wednesday, losing 113-94. Center Nikola Vucevic put forth a good effort for the losing side as he posted a double-double on 26 points and 18 boards.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee came up short against the Houston Rockets on Thursday, falling 143-136. This was hardly the result Milwaukee or its fans were betting on, as they were favored by 14 points over Houston heading into this contest. The losing side was boosted by point guard Jrue Holiday, who dropped a double-double on 29 points and ten assists in addition to four blocks.
The Bulls suffered a grim 126-96 defeat to the Bucks in the teams' previous meeting in January. Maybe Chicago will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
