Chicago Bulls will go head to head with the Milwaukee Bucks in the
National Basketball Association (NBA) match on February 17.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 262nd meeting between the two teams in regular-season games since the 1968 when Bucks were established.
The Bulls have the upper hand in this rivalry having recorded 134 wins compared to the Bucks' 127 victories from 261 matches.
Last Meeting
Led by DeMar DeRozan’s 42 points (10 in OT), 10 rebounds, and five assists, the Bulls defeated the Bucks, 119-113 on 29 December 2022.
The Bulls improve to 15-19 on the season, while the Bucks fall to 22-12 following a game which took place at the United Center.
What Is At Stake
The Bulls don't look like a team that will qualify for the playoffs as they are placed 11th on the Eastern Conference standings having recorded 26 victories and 31 defeats.
While the Bucks are among the contenders for the Eastern Conference title and they are placed second on the standings having registered 39 wins and 17 defeats.
Key Players
The Bulls will pin their hopes of securing a win on DeRozan who scored 42 points as the team rallied to beat the Bucks in overtime in their previous meeting.
On the other hand, the Bucks will look to Giannis Antetokounmpo who tallied 45 points, seven assists, and a career-high 22 rebounds against the Bulls last December.

Quotes
“I’d sort of like to do some of the things that he [does],” NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said as he lauded Antetokounmpo at a recent NBA press conference.
“‘You get the rebound, you better not try and take it down to the other end of the court if you’re a frontline player’ — that was like gospel when I played.
"Giannis is going through all of that and opens the game up. So I’m happy he’s done that, but I’m annoyed that it wasn't in time for me to try to get in on the fun.”
