The Chicago Bulls appear to be peaking at the right time, as they were very impressive in a Game 1 win over Milwaukee. The Bucks defense had no answer for Derrick Rose, and they surrendered a whopping 60 points in the first half. Despite a high scoring series opener, I expect to see a better effort on defense here in Game 2.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - These teams have seen the total fall short of the number in four of the last five meetings in this series. The Bucks have seen the total go under in 11 of their last 15 road games versus a team with a winning record.

2. Bucks Big Guns - The Bucks trio of Michael Carter-Williams, Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo combined to shot just 13-of-45 (34.9%) from the field in Game 1.

3. X-Factor - Nobody wants to slow this game down more than Jason Kidd. After Game 1 he told reporters that he felt his team was playing into Chicago's hand by trying to out-score them in the first quarter: "That first quarter was fool's gold. We're not an offensive team." said Kidd.

Selection: This is a play on the Bucks@Bulls to go UNDER the total (10*)
