KEY GAME INFORMATION
MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: The Bucks hope to fill a gaping hole at point guard with a committee approach. BRANDON KNIGHT, an undersized, athletically-overmatched combo guard, will get first crack at the job . . . Ex-Laker KENDALL MARSHALL, a heady floor general who can't shoot or defend, is an option as well . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON, a spot-up shooter, has a good chance to retain his starting job . . . New head coach Jason Kidd will try to rebuild O.J. MAYO, who could emerge as a serviceable sixth man, but looked wholly disinterested last season . . . The arrival of Marshall likely pushes NATE WOLTERS out of the rotation. He could be ticketed for the D-League at some point this season. FORWARDS: JABARI PARKER becomes the new face of this franchise. He can score as well as facilitate the offense. The only real question is what kind of defensive effort he puts in . . . GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO will be used at both forward spots and both guard spots as well. The Greek Freak is raw, but the Bucks will expand his role . . . After a season in Larry Drew's doghouse, the coaching change should bode well for ERSAN ILYASOVA. He's likely looking at a part-time role . . . JOHN HENSON will play some 4 and 5, though his lack of an offensive game limits his appeal . . . JOHNNY O'BRYANT III might push for a rotation spot once he returns from a knee injury in late November. He's one of the few big men on this team who can score around the basket . . . If DAMIEN INGLIS comes over, he's looking at a D-League stint. CENTERS: Kidd is a LARRY SANDERS believer, so after a season filled with injuries and knucklehead behavior, he'll have every chance to bounce back. When he's in the right place, he's an elite rim protector . . . Larry Drew favorite ZAZA PACHULIA is looking at a traditional back-up role now that Drew is gone.
CHICAGO: GUARDS: There's no medical reason why DERRICK ROSE can't be 100 percent healthy this year. But, as we saw in abbreviated action last season, his confidence may never come back . . . JIMMY BUTLER will still play major minutes this year, though Chicago's added depth on the wing means he's no longer a candidate to lead the league in playing time . . . KIRK HINRICH will return to a straight back-up role. His defense guarantees him minutes at both guard spots in a reserve role . . . TONY SNELL was inconsistent as a rookie, but has the defensive skill set to play solid minutes . . . AARON BROOKS gives the Bulls a more offense-heavy option to lead the second unit. He has his work cut out for him to claim the role D.J. Augustin held last season. FORWARDS: Despite the rough end to his Lakers career, PAU GASOL still has something left in the tank. He will see fewer minutes in a deep Bulls frontcourt, but he's a great fit on the offensive end . . . It seems like only a matter of time before MIKE DUNLEAVY relinquishes his starting spot. The Bulls now have plenty of shooters on this roster . . . TAJ GIBSON will reprise his sixth-man role. He'll be one of the league's top reserves; talent-wise he's a borderline All-Star . . . Rookie DOUG McDERMOTT will supplant Dunleavy once he grasps head coach Tom Thibodeau's defensive concepts. McDermott is an elite shooter who can get by defensively . . . NIKOLA MIROTIC might have some growing pains, but the Euro star can play the 3 or stretch-4 and has a very good offensive game. CENTERS: JOAKIM NOAH is an elite center, as he's outstanding defensively and has developed into one of the best passing big men in the NBA. The Bulls will do what they can to keep him fresh for the postseason, a luxury they have with Gasol and Mirotic adding depth to the frontcourt rotation. NAZR MOHAMMED is back as a big body with the ability to consistently keep the bench warm.

*Bucks-Bulls Preview* =====================

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer

Milwaukee At Chicago, Game Five, 8:00 p.m. EDT

The Milwaukee Bucks believe a dose of intensity will help them steal another win in the series, though the Chicago Bulls are vowing not to repeat their Game 4 mistakes.

With hopes of again staving off elimination Monday night, the young Bucks are aiming to deal the Bulls their first home loss since mid-March and win at United Center for the first time since December 2013.

After it led the league in forced turnovers during the regular season at 17.4 per game, Milwaukee's length and athleticism on the defensive end have given Chicago fits during this Eastern Conference series.

The Bucks have forced the Bulls into 20.0 giveaways per game - 6.0 more than Chicago's season average. They finished with 20 steals and coaxed the Bulls into a season-high 28 turnovers in Saturday's 92-90 win.

"We are going to have to be a lot stronger with the ball," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau told the team's official website. "They are coming through us. We are going to have to hold our ground."

Milwaukee stripped the ball from Derrick Rose as Chicago looked to close out a sweep on its final possession. At the other end, Jerryd Bayless burned the star point guard on a backdoor cut to lay in the winner at the buzzer.

The Bucks outscored the Bulls 39-25 on points off turnovers and have scored 96 off Chicago's 80 giveaways in four games.

"If we can run these guys off the line, and make them shoot tough, contested (2-pointers), we think we have a good chance," Bayless said. "We're still believing. We're not giving up on this series and we're going to keep going and see what happens."

Rose has been wildly inconsistent in the four contests, totaling 57 points on 21-of-39 shooting in Games 1 and 3 and scoring 29 while shooting 9 for 27 in Games 2 for 4. He finished with 14 points on 5-of-13 shooting Saturday and matched a playoff career high with eight turnovers - none more costly than in the final sequence.

"If this was the last game or Game 7, it would have been totally different," Rose said of his Game 4 struggles. "But we play again soon, so get this game out of my mind. We're going to come out and play hard. I can say that."

The Bulls should feel better about their chances back home, where they've won nine in a row by an average of 12.9 points. They also held the Bucks to an average of 86.0 points in winning the first two games there by a combined 21.

After snapping a nine-game playoff losing streak, Milwaukee now needs to halt a five-game skid at United Center to remain alive.

Although they're forcing turnovers, the Bucks haven't had an answer defensively for Jimmy Butler. The All-Star guard finished with a playoff career-high 33 points Saturday to go along with seven rebounds and three steals.

Butler, who also hit 5 of 7 from 3-point range, ranks among NBA leaders with 28.3 points per game this postseason.

"He's a great player playing at a high level and the rest of us have to be ready to make plays and make them pay for their commitment to certain players," said Pau Gasol, who has 33 points in the last two games after scoring 21 in the first two.

Milwaukee's O.J. Mayo had 18 points Saturday, Jared Dudley added 13 and five assists - including the pass to Bayless (10 points) on the winner - and the reserves outscored Chicago's 47-13 for a whopping 140-83 advantage in the series.

Nikola Mirotic had five points on 2-of-7 shooting in 20 minutes after missing Game 3 due to a bruised left knee and strained quadriceps. He's totaled 18 points in this series after averaging 17.7 over the last 23 of the regular season.
