Chicago bulls: Vs atlanta hawks| Vs memphis grizzlies
Vs Atlanta Hawks:
The Chicago Bulls were not expected to be this good this season, but Lonzo Ball has played a significant role in the team’s success. Max Kellerman of ESPN praised Ball’s father, LaVar Ball, for instilling a winning mentality in his kids.
Ball was part of a major offseason retool by the Bulls, who signed Ball, DeMar DeRozan and the Alex Caruso to big contracts. This was to pair with Chicago’s two All-Stars in Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. The Bulls quickly became one of the better rosters in the Eastern Conference. But the question was, how would it all mesh.
Chicago’s much-maligned off-season acquisition has been on a historic tear, which has enabled the Bulls to keep their place atop the Eastern Conference standings. Having Zach LaVine back in the lineup will be a big boost to the injury-riddled team.
Vs Memphis Grizzlies:
The Memphis Grizzlies will have a rematch with the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, February 26 at the United Center. Memphis is looking to sweep the season series 2-0 against one of the best teams in the East.
Ja Morant and crew are on a two-game losing streak after consecutive losses to the Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves. They’ll be looking to snao out of their slump against the East-leading Bulls in this rematch.
Kellerman believes that Ball is one of the biggest reasons the Bulls have come together so fast, crediting his winning mindset. The Chicago Bulls have won six consecutive games despite missing two of their most important players in Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso in the last few weeks. Their improbable run has been due to DeMar DeRozan’s MVP-level performances.
