DeMar DeRozan has continued to lead the Bulls on offense. He averages 27.7 points and 5.1 assists per game. On defense, Nikola Vucevic has remained as the top figure to look for on the court as he is averaging 11.4 rebounds, one steal, and one block per game. 

The Bulls are also tenth overall in the league, averaging 112 points per game. Although they are 2-3 in their last five games, their top talent on both ends of the court is unquestionable. 

Antetokounmpo’s Bucks Hope To Stay At The Top 

The Bucks, just like their rivals for tonight, have been near the top of the standings all season. However, with a recent 138-119 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Bucks are not ready to let go of their chances to stay ahead in the division standings.

Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks with 29.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. The Bucks are third overall in the league with 114.9 points per game, and with 46.8 rebounds per game, they are second in the league.
