The Chicago Bulls and the Milwaukee Bucks will clash at the United Center in Chicago in a meeting between two Eastern Conference teams with postseason aspirations.

The Bucks (48-30) had a slow start to the season but have picked up steam recently. Second in the Eastern Conference, they have won six of their last 10 games and trail the first-place Miami Heat (51-28) by 2.5 games. They'll rely on Giannis Antetokounmpo to once again come up with the goods.

Meanwhile, the Bulls (45-33) are coming into this game with a desperate need for an up-tick in form. They have lost six of their last 10 games and are fifth in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls are less than six games behind leaders Miami Heat (51-28) and have the Toronto Raptors (45-23) breathing down their necks. The team from Canada share the same record as Zach LaVine and co.

After early season hype around the Chicago Bulls, the franchise and their fans have been brought back down to earth. That's because results have taken a nosedive since the turn of the year for a multitude of reasons. The roster has been constantly plagued by injuries to the likes of Lonzo Ball and Zach LaVine.

However, 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 help make some serious noise in the postseason and go as deep as possible.

Zach’s stepback game is butter.
