Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls’ 34-53 season came to a quiet close, capping a year defined by inconsistency and offensive limitations. Their last five games tell the story: two wins sandwiched between three losses, including blowout defeats to Dallas (128-149 on April 13) and Orlando (103-127 on April 11) that underscored defensive vulnerabilities down the stretch. Offensively, the Bulls averaged 116.5 points per game on 47.0 percent shooting, but a 35.2 percent three-point clip exposed their spacing issues in a modern NBA landscape. The April wins over Washington (129-98 and 119-108) offered brief hope, yet the team’s inability to string together wins or defend elite competition left them firmly in lottery territory. As the 2025-26 season closes on May 10, bettors and front-office evaluators alike will focus on whether the Bulls can address their perimeter shooting and defensive intensity in the offseason. The roster’s current construction suggests another year of rebuilding lies ahead, making any summer moves critical to reversing this downward trajectory.
