Guard Coby White’s return has helped.
The sharpshooting White has averaged 24 points in the four games he has played since starting the season on the sideline with a strained right calf, cementing himself as the closest thing the Bulls have to a closer. He is averaging a team-best 5.3 points in the fourth quarters of those games.
But the Bulls are 2-2 in the games White has played.
The return of 6-9, 250-pound Zach Collins (left wrist) will help. He is the closest thing the Bulls have to a true physical presence in the paint, and he might make his season debut sometime next week after continuing to ramp up his activity Wednesday.
