Teams Preview
Chicago Bulls Preview
Coach Billy Donovan is using available players on the roster in an injury-hit season to navigate through a tough period. While the form of Josh Giddey and Nikola Vucevic has been highlighted for the coach, the team hardly had the whole roster available in games to challenge for the playoffs.
In their recent five home matches, the Windy City side averaged 108 points per game while conceding an average of 117.4 points. The team lost all five games, though Giddey remained the brightest star.
