DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls hit the road to take on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday in Game 5 of their first round series and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at Tipico Sportsbook.

Game 5 tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET and can be seen on TNT.

The Bull will look to avoid elimination on Wednesday and do so without Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso. LaVine entered health and safety protocols on Tuesday and Caruso remains in concussion protocols after suffering a fall during Game 4.

In their absence, look for Coby White to attempt to fill some of LaVine’s scoring void but at the end of the day to avoid elimination, DeMar DeRozan will need to have another career night.
