Bulls postseason sowing
The Bulls are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, narrowly missing out on the NBA’s new play-in competition.
In this tournament, teams ranked seven through ten are vying for the final two playoff berths, while the top five seeds in each conference have already clinched a spot in the playoffs with their undefeated records.
The Bulls currently hold a two-game lead over the seventh-seed Cavaliers with only four games remaining. If Chicago wins two more games, they have a good chance of avoiding the play-in tournament and clinching a playoff spot. If both teams end the regular season with the same record, the Bulls and Cavaliers will be tied in the standings.
problems in Windy City
The Bulls were evenly matched in the early part of the season, giving them a strong chance to secure a playoff spot.
Although the team’s defense has weakened recently, it has put the Bulls in a position where they must fight to avoid the play-in competition.
Chicago has a 45-33 overall record, but in their last 20 games they have a record of 8-12. Their opponents have averaged 114 points per game during this stretch.
After the all-star break, the Bulls faced the second toughest schedule in the league, with their opponents having an average winning percentage of .543. This was a challenge for optimistic fans.
The Bulls’ main problem seems to be their struggles against top-tier teams, with a record of 22-23 against winning opponents.
Nonetheless, any team that earns a spot in the postseason can lift the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Bulls fans can take advantage of PointsBet’s +660 odds for Chicago to reclaim glory and win the championship.
