Chicago Bulls Overview

The Bulls hold a 6-1 record, the best in the conference, despite missing shooting guard Coby White, who averaged 20.4 points last season and is sidelined due to a calf injury. Point guard Josh Giddey leads Chicago in points and assists and has recorded two triple-doubles. He is the current +320 favorite for the Most Improved Player award at FanDuel.

Milwaukee Bucks Challenges and Adjustments

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future continues to be a topic of speculation, especially if the team struggles. The Bucks have a 5-3 start, thanks in part to coach Doc Rivers, who adapted the half-court offense and managed the injury to starting point guard Kevin Porter Jr.
