Milwaukee Bucks: 3 reasons they can survive without Khris Middleton

The Chicago Bulls may have won Game 2, but they still will struggle to match up with the Bucks

Look, the Bulls won Game 2. They tied the first-round series at one game apiece. But unless DeMar DeRozan is going to average 40 points per game throughout this series or the Bulls as a team are going to shoot 50 percent from the field, 50 percent from 3-point range, and 90 percent from the free-throw line (which they did in Game 2), it’s difficult to see how Chicago is going to keep pace with Milwaukee.

The Bulls struggled with elite teams all season long and the Bucks are still likely a top 4 team without Middleton in the lineup.

It’s easy to see why Chicago may have new life but we must also use context to the current situation. The Bulls have a chance to win this series, there’s no question about that. However, the Bucks should still be considered heavy favorites. Even without Middleton.
