Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 23, 2026

Tyler Herro's 34-point, 5-rebound showing kept Milwaukee afloat, but it wasn't enough to contain Chicago's balanced attack in a 132-125 Bulls victory that sent the combined total soaring to 257—well over the 239.5 market line. The second half proved decisive: after a tightly contested first half that combined for 123 points, the two teams erupted for 134 combined points over the final 24 minutes, with the third quarter alone producing 83 combined points to decide the game's trajectory. DAGGER's pregame under call missed, but a live adjustment during play cashed.

Norman Powell led Chicago with 25 points, while Caleb Wilson chipped in 21 and Leonard Miller added 19, spreading the scoring across the lineup. Milwaukee's Jaime Jaquez Jr. contributed 19 points and 11 rebounds in a losing effort, with Kyle Kuzma adding 14 and 9 boards. Chicago's 125-104 win over Milwaukee earlier this season suggested the Bulls could control pace, and that dynamic partially played out—though the third quarter's 83-point explosion proved neither team could maintain defensive discipline once the temperature spiked. The open total of 239.5 ticked up to 241.5 by tip, a 2-point adjustment that still underestimated what would unfold. The combined 257 was the third-quarter carnage made manifest across four quarters, cementing this as a high-volume affair well above preseason expectations for two squads averaging in the 109–119 range defensively.
