Nylon Calculus published some good news for Bulls fans, ranking the team with the 6th easiest strength of schedule in the NBA:
This is based on the projected strength of opponents, and unsurprisingly those ranked ahead of the Bulls are all Eastern Conference contemporaries (with the Cavs leading the way). The 'strength' is derived from Nylon Calculus's own projections, and they have the Bulls as 5th in the conference.
Further helping the Bulls will be Commisioner Adam Silver's emphasis on reducing back to backs and travel between teams.
