The Chicago Bulls will play one of the worst teams in the NBA, the Utah Jazz, who sit dead last in the Western Conference standings.
The Jazz have a strong chance of getting the first overall pick in the draft, which could land them a player like Cooper Flagg.
The Bulls are also vying for a chance to draft Flagg, but they’re not nearly as bad as the Jazz are.
The Bulls sit tenth in the Eastern Conference standings and are coming off a tough loss to the Houston Rockets, where they lost by a score of 117-114.
Before that loss, the Bulls were riding a four-game winning streak.
During that winning streak, one of their guards was on such a heater, which brought him some recognition.

Even though the season has been tough, there have been a few bright spots for the Bulls. During the Bulls’ winning streak, Coby White was on fire scoring 27.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and shot 46% from the field.
This impressive scoring performance by White was good enough for him to win Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

White has put up some solid numbers for the Bulls this season, posting 19.4 points a game, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.
March has proven to be Whites’s best month this season. In seven games this month, White has averaged season highs in points: 28.4 and rebounds: 5.7 rebounds, with also having 3.4 assists.
The Future of White
White’s future is unknown outside of him being under contract for next season at $12.8 million.
White did draw some interest at the trade deadline this season with the Orlando Magic showing the most interest.
Since the Bulls are in rebuilding mode, White could be on the move this offseason.
