Milwaukee Bucks
Jae Crowder won’t make his debut with the Bucks until after the All-Star Break. The forward hasn’t played all season so Milwaukee wants to get him conditioned and up to speed on their systems.
Although the veteran stayed in shape with strenuous workouts he noted his lungs and legs weren’t where they needed to be after his first five-on-five minutes in practice with the Bucks.

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Chicago Bulls NBA Prediction:
With the Celtics defeating the Pistons they’ll enter the break at least a game up on Milwaukee who can draw back to a half-game back if they can extend the winning streak to 12 in a row.
Milwaukee, Boston, and Denver are the only 40-win teams and it’s likely one of them will own the best record at season end. Despite most assuming that will occur in the East, the Nuggets have the much easier closing strength of schedule.
With Chicago seemingly imploding unless Milwaukee loses focus this is their game to win.
