Bulls now have to balance rest over rhythm as play-in game approaches

The Bulls starting lineup on Friday was Coby White, Onuralp Bitim, Dalen Terry, Torrey Craig, and at starting center all 6-foot-5 of Javonte Green.

Yep, that time of the NBA season.

With the Bulls clinching the No. 9 seed and the home play-in game against Atlanta, and no way of that changing, coach Billy Donovan used the game against the Wizards to not only get a look at some of his depth, but more importantly get veterans DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic and Alex Caruso some much needed rest.

How long that rest would be was still up in the air.
