— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) November 16, 2025 Finishing off a gauntlet stretch that featured games against the Knicks, 76ers, Bucks, Cavaliers, and Spurs, the Chicago Bulls will immediately transition to the medical staff’s worst nightmare. To be honest, I’m not sure why the NBA still includes stretches like this on the calendar. Even if the competition is a step down for the Bulls over these next five contests, this many games in this tight a window can take a lot out of players. Especially for a team trying to get healthy AND back on the right track after a four-game skid, this is a particularly daunting week. Indeed, it’s frustrating that this is the week that has lined up with Coby White’s return. Instead of being able to increasingly ease him back into things, the Bulls will have to be extra cautious with his minutes. Not only will he be on a tight minutes restriction, but the full expectation is that he will sit out at least one game of each back-to-back set. To be clear, this is absolutely the right approach. The schedule leaves the Bulls no choice. However, there is no question that this could only make the adjustment harder for both White and the team. Does that mean I expect any significant bumps in the road as White works his way back to a full workload? Not at all. We have talked countless times about how well White fits with this team’s current style of play. He’s also long been willing to slide into different roles, whether it be serving as the team’s primary ball-handler or a hard-working off-ball shooting threat. At the end of the day, though, it always takes time to shake off the rust and slide back into things. We’ll have to be patient with White. Coby White of the Chicago Bulls – © Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images Only a handful of teams move the ball as much as the Chicago Bulls, and one of those teams is the Utah Jazz. They actually rank at the top of the league in AST% through their first 12 games (73.8), whereas the Bulls are slightly behind in the sixth spot (67.5). With that said, the Jazz’s ball movement has not led to the same kind of efficient scoring. They sit bottom six in effective field goal percentage and also happen to turn the ball over more than any other team in the league. Opponents are scoring 21.5 points off their mistakes per game. The Bulls may not be that proficient in forcing turnovers, but the Jazz are going to give them some easy opportunities. And I like this offense’s ability to capitalize on those in transition. The Bulls got behind early against the Pistons largely because of the three-ball. They have to be prepared for Utah to try something similar. This is a team that shoots over 40 attempts a night, which is about six more per game than the Bulls this season. Once again, they may not be all that good at it with only a 33.2 percent success rate on the year, but the sheer volume could become trouble if Chicago isn’t shooting as efficiently as they normally do. Some good news for the Bulls is that Walker Kessler will remain sidelined tonight. He was a menace on the glass to start the year, snatching 4.6 offensive rebounds a night! Still, the Bulls can’t come in light on the glass. Utah has remained one of the NBA’s best rebounding teams even without its starting big man. They do it by committee and average the fifth-most second-chance points per game. Chicago started the year rather strongly on the offensive boards, but they have since fallen off in this department. Over this four-game losing streak, they have averaged only 10.8 points off second-chance opportunities, which is only better than the Clippers and Nets. The physicality we didn’t see against Detroit has to be there tonight against a youthful and high-energy Jazz team. Lauri Markkanen looks like an All-Star. The former Bull has started the year averaging 29.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game on 39.4 percent shooting from behind the arc. This should be a fascinating matchup for Matas Buzelis, who does share some similar traits with the versatile and crafty Finnish forward. The last number worth knowing for tonight’s game: 28.5 free throw attempts. Only the Orlando Magic shoot more free throws each game. Markkanen is obviously a big part of that, but speedy guard Keyonte George is up to 7.3 attempts a night. His 88 total makes him Top 14 in the league! The Bulls’ defense has only looked worse and worse over this recent stretch, so I certainly worry about their ability to stay in front of George. Good stuff from Will Gottlieb over at CHGO about the Bulls’ shooting. I encourage you to give it a read! It’s pretty crazy to think that five players have shot over 40 percent on roughly 4.0 attempts a night. As Gottlieb asks, do we expect this to continue? Eh … probably not. But I do like their chances to remain one of the more consistently productive shooting teams in the league. Josh Giddey and Tre Jones to an excellent job at setting up open looks. This group may be shooting far fewer attempts than last season, but they have increased the quality of those attempts.

Bulls are have 5 players at or above 40% on threes and are 39.6% as a group. But they're shooting 10 fewer threes per game than last season.Can they keep up that efficiency? Why quality and generating the right looks, is more important than quantity t.co/F1MJM4H2e4

— Will Gottlieb (@Will_Gottlieb) November 15, 2025 Stacey King shared his thoughts on all the Anthony Davis chatter, and he was insistent that no draft picks should be headed the Mavs’ way. For what it’s worth … I highly doubt a deal would ever get done without at least a good first-rounder involved.

— Chicago Bulls Archive (@BullsArchive) November 16, 2025 Bleacher Nation Fantasy time! New users can grab Jahmyr Gibbs at just 0.5 rushing yards. And, yes, you can combine picks, so that’s a great way to boost the value of a potential Bulls entry tonight! For what it’s worth, I like Jalen Smith MORE than 8.5 points and a well-rested Josh Giddey MORE than 20.5 points. What a nice comeback for the Blackhawks last night! We got some fun young teams in Chicago right now. Speaking of which, there is a lot to like about Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland right now.
