The Bulls have 8 games remaining. Going into tonight, they are three games out of the 10th and final play-in seed currently held by the Wizards of Washington. The Wiz have been as good as the Bulls have been bad lately, and are massive favorites tonight at home against the oft-injured Pacers.
The Bulls have shown no ability to rise over injury (they weren’t doing well even before injury) and get some farfetched win. They had their chances over the weekend and played 1 out of 4 good halves of basketball. Tonight’s opponent, the Philadelphia 76ers, are the current number one seed in the East, a half-game over Brooklyn after they beat the Spurs just last night.
