The Chicago Bulls have turned their season around. Even though they have dropped their last two games, the last in OT, their record has improved dramatically recently. The return of Nikola Mirotic has provided a jolt to their offense without harming them defensively. After 23 games, they had 3 wins, and those lottery ping-pong balls were looming large in their future. Since then, they are 10-4, with Niko averaging 18.3 points Per Game [PG] and boasting a PER of 24.3. That would rank him eleventh in the NBA if he had enough minutes to qualify.
The Raptors have beaten the Bulls twice already, both times at the Air Canada Centre.
