The Milwaukee Bucks try to beat Chicago for the third time this season tonight (Monday) at the United Center, but they may have to do it without Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The game against the Bulls will be the sixth contest for the Bucks in the last 10 days. Chicago has a 13-and-20 record but has won three out of its last four games.
