The Chicago Bulls take on the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on Thursday night.

The Bulls (4-7) started the new season off in rocky fashion, but they've shown some encouraging flashes recently by winning two of their last three games. Their most recent success came at the expense of the New York Knicks, which they toppled by a 120-102 score on Tuesday night. Coby White helped lead
a furious fourth-quarter rally and paced the Bulls with 27 points, adding three rebounds, one assist and one steal. Zach LaVine followed with 25 points, complementing them with six assists, two rebounds and one steal. Wendell Carter, Jr. generated a 17-point, 12-rebound double-double. Lauri Markkanen and Kris Dunn had matching 13-point contributions while hauling in eight and five rebounds, respectively.

The Bulls will continue to be without Otto Porter, Jr. (foot) and Cristiano Felicio (wrist) on Thursday. Zach LaVine (ankle) will be considered probable.

The Bucks (7-3) have righted the ship after so-so 2-2 start, as they'll come into Thursday's contest having won five of their last six games. Milwaukee's most recent victory was a costly one, however, as they lost star wing Khris Middleton to a thigh bruise for several weeks in a 121-119 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday evening. Giannis Antetokounmpo paced the Bucks with 35 points, adding 16 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. Bledsoe furnished 25 points, nine assists, three rebounds and one block. Brook Lopez contributed 15 points and four boards, while Sterling Brown led the bench with 12 points. Middleton totaled 10 points, five assists, four rebounds and one steal before exiting the contest.

Besides Middleton's absence, the Bucks will also list Kyle Korver (head) as questionable for Thursday's contest.

The Bucks swept the 2018-19 season series between the teams. Thursday's game marks the first of four 2019-20 meetings for Chicago and Milwaukee.
