The Chicago Bulls currently sit at 9-14 as the No. 12 seed in the Eastern Conference as they ride a three-game losing streak into Wednesday night’s game against the Washington Wizards.
ESPN’s NBA experts update their NBA Power Rankings every week, which landed the Bulls at No. 23 for Week 8, falling two spots from last week’s ranking.
Jamal Collier explains:
The Bulls have dropped three in a row and seven of their last 10 games. When DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic are on the floor together, Chicago is -6.3 points per 100 possessions in 399 minutes this season.
Chicago now faces a crucial part of their season as they’ve become one of the talks around the league as a potential blow up team who could trade their stars for future picks and assets. If the Bulls want to salvage their season and get back into the playoff race, it begins now.
