Milwaukee Bucks vs. Chicago Bulls: 3 big questions and a prediction

Can Khris Middleton get back on track?

Khris Middleton is having a “down season” by his standards. He’s averaging 20 points but on only 44 percent shooting from the field and 37 percent shooting from 3-point range. If the Bucks are going to win another championship, they’re going to need Middleton to take it to another level.

Jrue Holiday being in the midst of the best season of his career has helped the Bucks overcome Middleton’s small step back, but they’re going to need him to get back on track during the playoffs. And the Bulls might be the perfect opponent to help him do that.

If Middleton can up his shooting numbers a tad, the Bucks are going to be nearly impossible to beat in the postseason. We should get an early indication of what we can expect from Middleton during this playoff run early on in the series against the Bulls.
