Chicago Bulls: Pick 3-6

SACRAMENTO, CA – FEBRUARY 5: Zach Lavine
SACRAMENTO, CA – FEBRUARY 5: Zach Lavine /

It’s weird to call 20 wins overperforming, but the Bulls were supposed to be far and away the worst team in the league. Chicago performed well in the middle of the first half, peaking with a seven-game win streak in December.

Since then however, they have played more true to form, losing nine of their last twelve entering the break. Still, high flyer Zach Lavine is back from injury and Lauri Markkanen is one of the better rookies in the league.

This team has more young, albeit unproven, talent than the Hawks, Suns and Mavericks, and should garner more wins than those teams in their final 25 games.
