Bulls Host Bucks on Sunday
The Chicago Bulls play host to the Milwaukee Bucks at United Center on Sunday.

The Bucks (46-25) have locked up the three-seed in the Eastern Conference. This club always sits near the top of the standings at the end of the season, but it's just a matter of what they do when it comes playoff time. They've exited out of the postseason way too early in each of the last two years, and a matchup with the Miami Heat in the first round is a scary proposition. That's the team that knocked them out last year, and it'll be interesting to see how they perform with Miami playing so well. The good news is that they're at full health, with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday all looking hungry for this postseason run.

The Bulls (30-41) have been one of the biggest disappointments in the NBA this season. Many people expected them to compete at the beginning of the year, and then they failed to do just that. They then traded for Nikola Vucevic and Daniel Theis at the trade deadline, but didn't get much better since then either. That has to make fans wonder where this franchise is headed because there's way too much talent to have a record this poor. In any case, they look like one of the most dangerous teams in the Eastern Conference going into next season, and it'll be interesting to see what they do in what will be an inevitably long offseason.

This is the third and final meeting between these teams, with Milwaukee looking for the season sweep. That gives the Bucks 12-straight wins in this series in total.
