Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are currently 1-2 this season, with their lone road game resulting in a 118-102 loss to the Pistons on Saturday due to struggles in the defensive end. Despite this, veteran players such as DeMar DeRozan, who is averaging 24.3 PPG, could be poised for a breakout season. Meanwhile Nikola Vucevic is also producing, averaging 16 PPG and 7.8 RPG, but the squad as a whole is ranked 26th for offense and 18th for defense, and are only shooting 40% while opponents are shooting 51% against them. The Bulls have yet to cover the spread in three games and are regarded as a potential bubble team for the playoffs. Fighting back.
