Chicago Bulls Preview
The Bulls notched an important win against the Raptors on Monday. Snapping a three-game losing streak, Chicago managed to hold onto their position at fifth in the East.
The Bulls haven't been as consistent in the month of March. With a 3-7 record in 10 games this month, Chicago has seen a turnaround in their placement on the Eastern Conference leaderboard.
This stretch has seen solid performances from their current Big Three of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. But due to poor bench contributions, Chicago has suffered with late-game execution.
However, there is some good news for the Bulls as Patrick Williams made a comeback from injury against Toronto. While Lonzo Ball is still out indefinitely, having a key player return to the side will be a good boost in morale.
Welcome Back Patrick Williams!
He knocks down his first bucket in his return to play for the @chicagobulls.

Milwaukee Bucks Preview
Although the Bucks are coming off a bad loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves, they've still had a fairly stable month as they enjoyed three wins in their last five games and held onto a top-three position.
Milwaukee have gradually rounded out into playoff form as they feature a fully healthy roster. Although the loss to Minnesota saw a poor performance overall, the Bucks played without Giannis Antetokounmpo for the game.
Antetokounmpo's absence saw an absolute breakdown in defense as Minnesota took over the game early on. Notching 30+ points in every quarter, Milwaukee only found their rhythm late in the game as they scored 37 in the fourth.
Going 2-2 on their road trip, the Bucks managed to come out of the trip without giving up too many games. However, with a relatively challenging schedule coming up, Milwaukee will need to rack up wins to clinch a playoff berth soon.
