Defending champions Milwaukee Bucks will look to continue their dominance over the Chicago Bulls in Game 4 of their first round series at the United Center on Sunday. The Bucks lead 2-1 after three games.
The Bucks had a slow start to their campaign but peaked at the right time to finish third in the East. They'll rely on Giannis Antetokounmpo once again to come up with the goods in the postseason. With Khris Middleton out with a knee injury, the Bulls have caused problems for the Bucks in this series.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls, started their campaign with incredible hype. However, they have been plagued by injuries to key players like Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball, who has been ruled out for the season. The Bulls lost six of their last 10 games to end the regular season as the sixth seed in the East. However, they could go the distance against the Bucks.

Chicago Bulls Preview
After early season hype around the Bulls, their results have taken a nosedive since the turn of the year. That has been due to injuries to key players, but barring Lonzo Ball, coach Billy Donovan now has almost all his players back.
There is no better time to hit top form than right now. The Bulls will depend on the likes of LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic to make some serious noise. They'll look for a big game from Zach LaVine as they seek parity in the series.
