Chicago was a 113-106 winner in its last match on the road against the Bucks. They failed to cover the -8.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 219 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.

The strong play of Rose has been the story of the series as he scored his 34 points in a whopping 48 minutes in Game 3 to provide definitive proof that his knee woes are not an issue. Rose is averaging 24 points and eight assists and Butler has also stood out in each game by averaging 26.7 points in the series. “We have a very strong backcourt right now,” Noah told reporters. “Both (Jimmy) and Derrick, it’s very good and I’m happy to have them as teammates. They’re competing hard and it’s making us that much better.”

Small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo shot just 25 percent from the field over the first two games before exploding for 25 points and 12 rebounds in Game 3. The 20-year-old nicknamed the “Greek Freak” played 51 minutes in the contest and was much more comfortable with the playoff stage than he was in the first two games of the series. “I was trying to be aggressive and try to make plays for my teammates,” Antetokounmpo told reporters. “I talked with my teammates and they told me not to think, don’t take second-guesses on the court because whenever you think on the court, you’re dead.”

Oddsmakers currently have the Buccaneers listed as 2-point favorites versus the Vikings, while the game’s total is sitting at 41½.

That Minnesota protection could face a bigger challenge this week if defensive end Michael Johnson is 100 percent following the bye after being limited most of the first six games. “For us, it’s a factor,” Frazier told reporters of Johnson. “He’s been playing injured. This week is going to help him tremendously.” Tampa Bay also expects to be healthier in the secondary with the return of cornerback Johnathan Banks from one contest off and safety Dashon Goldson back from a two-game absence. The Buccaneers are expected to start Mike Glennon at quarterback with Josh McCown still battling through a thumb injury.

In their last action, Tampa Bay was a 48-17 loser at home against the Ravens. They failed to cover the +3-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (65) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

Minnesota lost on the final play at Buffalo 17-16 last week, marking the fifth time in seven games that the team has failed to score more than 16 points. Bridgewater threw his first touchdown pass in four games since taking over under center but was limited to 157 yards passing and was picked off twice, giving him five interceptions in the last two weeks. The Vikings have struggled in protection and tight end Kyle Rudolph (sports hernia) has been ruled out for Sunday. “I think I’ve been doing a good job of getting the ball down the field,” Bridgewater told reporters. “I know that I can do much better, but at the same time, we’re not going to continue to try to test protection or anything.”

The Vikings were a 17-16 loser in their most recent outing on the road against the Bills. They covered the +6.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (33) made winners of UNDER bettors.
