Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 1, 2026

The opening quarter set the tone for an under that DAGGER had targeted pregame. Chicago and Milwaukee combined for 62 points in Q1—the game's highest-scoring frame—but the momentum never returned. The Bucks entered halftime trailing 51-66, and Milwaukee's offense collapsed entirely in the fourth quarter, mustering just 8 combined points as Chicago pulled away to a 120-97 victory.

Milwaukee's second half unraveled after a competitive first half that totaled 117 combined points. Q3 saw 59 combined points, but Q4 devolved into a defensive grind: just 41 combined in the final frame, with the Bucks scoring only 8. Collin Sexton led Chicago with 22 points, while Josh Giddey contributed a near triple-double (20 pts, 14 reb, 10 ast). For Milwaukee, Bobby Portis Jr. led with 18 points and 5 rebounds, and Cam Thomas added 15 points with 3 assists. Matas Buzelis chipped in 20 points and 7 rebounds for the Bulls.

The combined 217 points fell well short of the 231.5 market total, landing 14.5 points under. The second half's dropoff—100 combined points versus 117 in the first—sealed the under's fate. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed. This was Chicago's third meeting with Milwaukee this season; their prior two totaled 246 and 236, making today's defensive grind a notable departure from the recent head-to-head pattern.
