Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are currently 3-6 overall this season and have lost four straight games going into Saturday night. Despite starting the year with a 3-2 record, the team has struggled to score consistently since leading scorer Zach LaVine suffered an injury. In their last game, a 135-119 loss to the Timberwolves, the Bulls held the lead for most of the game before faltering in the fourth quarter.

Offensively, the Bulls are averaging 113.8 points per game, ranking 15th in the league. They shoot 45% from the field and 37.4% from behind the 3-point line. Defensively, the team is allowing an average of 121.1 points per game, ranking among the worst in the league. Opponents are shooting 48.1% from the field against them, but only 32.5% from 3-point range. The Bulls are 3-6 against the spread this season, with a 3-5 record as underdogs and a 2-3 record on the road. Lonzo Ball will miss the upcoming game, while LaVine is questionable due to an abductor strain. Torrey Craig left the last game due to illness. In power rankings, the Bulls are ranked 21st overall, with the offense ranked 18th and the defense ranked 24th. They excel in offensive rebounding and three-point shooting, but struggle defensively.
