It’s the final game of the 2025–26 regular season, and the Chicago Bulls are on the road. They’ve made the trip to Texas to take on another lottery team from the opposite conference, but in the same time zone, the Dallas Mavericks.
Both teams are still fighting for better lottery odds, making this a tank of epic proportions. There’s practically a CVS receipt-length injury report, but Cooper Flagg will still be active.
All Bulls fans are really hoping for tonight? A competitive game, and a loss.

Matas Hurt! Bulls Lose Final Home Game of the Season to the Magic: 127 – 103 – April 10, 2026 What To Watch For There are 20 names on the injury report between the Chicago Bulls and the Dallas Mavericks tonight, in what’s essentially a must-lose game for both sides. Neither team can afford to win without hurting their lottery odds in the final game of the season, but one of them has to. The biggest absences for Chicago are Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey, which probably makes Dallas the favorites heading into tonight. Without Giddey and Matas, the scoring will have to come by committee.Buzelis sprained ankle could put dent in Buzelis vs. Flagg finale—but help Bulls' lottery odds t.co/AW11cB2uiE
— K.C. Johnson (@KCJHoop) April 11, 2026 Collin Sexton, playing what could be his final game with Chicago before hitting unrestricted free agency, might have a big night. He’s averaging 17 points in his 25 games with the Bulls and has never been shy about putting the ball in the basket. Leonard Miller should also be a focal point. Since arriving at the trade deadline, he’s looked like a real gem. Over his last 17 games, he’s scored in double figures 16 times, averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds during that stretch. But the player demanding the most attention right now is Tre Jones, who’s in the middle of the best scoring run of his career. He’s dropped 20+ in his last four games and is averaging 26 points and 6 assists on 61% shooting. Honestly, he’s playing so well he might accidentally win them this game.Tre, Lenny & Collin combined for 84 points in tonight's win vs. Washington ? pic.twitter.com/TUCY2IH7eB
— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) April 10, 2026 On the other side, Dallas will have their star rookie—who was just 0.1% away from being a Chicago Bull at the start of this season, Cooper Flagg available tonight. He’s making a strong push to lock up Rookie of the Year over his college teammate Kon Knueppel, and his recent stretch only strengthens that case. Over his last five games, Flagg is averaging 33 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, plus a steal and a block per game, while shooting 44% from three. That stretch also included a 51 point game over the Orlando Magic and a 45 point game over the Los Angeles Lakers. Tonight could be the exclamation point that seals it.The man in blue strikes again ?⚠️ Coop recorded his sixth career 30-5-5 game last night, more than the rest of this year’s rookie class combined ? @Cooper_Flagg // #MFFLAGG pic.twitter.com/1Oe9Mxm6l2
