The Chicago Bulls have been great over their last 10 games. They are 8-2 over that span which has helped them rocket up the Eastern Conference standings. The two players that are leading the charge for the Chicago Bulls are Point Guard Coby White and Shooting Guard Josh Giddey.
White has averaged 30.6 points per game and 3.2 made three-pointers over his last 10 contests. He has also scored 35+ points in three straight games. White joined Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Michael Jordan, and Bob Love as the only Bulls with three straight 35+ point games.
Giddey nearly had a triple-double last night against the Denver Nuggets. He finished with 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists. Giddey nearly had a quadruple-double on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Giddey is averaging 22-10-9 on 54.3% shooting from the field since the NBA All-Star break. Will this dynamic duo keep up their stellar level of play as the Chicago Bulls look to end the regular season on a high note?
Chicago Bulls Season Summary
Chicago’s streak has included victories against the Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, Utah Jazz, Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Lakers, and Denver Nuggets. Their only losses have come on the road against the Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns.
Even with a stellar last few weeks, the Chicago Bulls are firmly entrenched in the NBA Play-In. They are the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference with a 32-40 record. It is puzzling to see the Bulls continue to struggle year in and year out with such talented rosters. Chicago’s offense, led by Giddey and White, has been the strength of the team this season. They are sixth in points per game, 16th in field goal percentage, and 11th in three-point percentage.
Final Thoughts
The Chicago Bulls return to the court Thursday against a Los Angeles Lakers team in freefall. Los Angeles has dropped three straight games. The middle loss was a 146-115 loss to the Bulls. Chicago will be in the play-in this year, but are looking to make it to the No. 7 or No. 8 seed. That would give them a guaranteed two games to qualify for the NBA Playoffs.
