(My Sportsbook) - The Chicago Bulls resume their second half of the NBA season tonight, when they pay a visit to the Milwaukee Bucks at the Bradley Center.

Chicago entered the All-Star break with a 23-30 record and has alternated wins and losses over the past six games. In last Thursday's 95-93 home loss versus the Miami Heat at the United Center, rookie Derrick Rose scored 18 points and dished out six assists in a losing effort.

Tyrus Thomas registered 15 points and eight boards for the Bulls, who will try to improve on their lowly 9-19 road mark this evening.

Milwaukee will shoot for a season high four straight victories Wednesday versus the Bulls in the opener of a three-game homestand. It recorded its third consecutive win with a 92-86 decision over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday at The Palace, as Richard Jefferson posted 29 points to lead the way. Jefferson is averaging 25.8 points per game in five February outings.

Ramon Sessions finished with 17 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, while Malik Allen posted 14 points and eight boards off the bench for Milwaukee. The Bucks will also host Cleveland and Denver on the current residency and are 16-9 in Wisconsin this season.

The 2008-09 season series between Chicago and Milwaukee is tied at a game apiece, while the Bulls have won four of five and eight of the last 10 meetings.

Milwaukee has won 17 of the past 21 games as the host in this series.

The NBA trade deadline is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. (et) Thursday.
