Bad night for the play-in standings for your Chicago Bulls, as they didn’t play but all the teams around them won. The Bulls are still comfortably going to make the play-in tournament, but it would be a lot better to be in 8th versus 10th. They’re currently 1.5 games behind that mark against the tied Hawks and Raptors.
Both of those teams are off, but the Bulls play tonight, returning from their 3-game west coast road trip to face the Lakers. The Lakers last played on Sunday when they lost to the Bulls at home in spite of LeBron James’s return.
