The NBA has some weird scheduling quirks, and one of the weirdest is back-to-back games against the same team. It doesn’t always happen, but every team seems to have at least one of these a season. I am sure it has to do with reducing travel during a long season by knocking out a couple of road games, but in most cases these is a home game and then a road game against the same team.
If there is one positive about this stretch of games it is that it comes against a Chicago Bulls team that seems like they want to rebuild, but also won’t fully buy-in on doing it.
