The Chicago Bulls are in a tricky position. Everything comes down to the final game of the season. Of course, at this point, “everything” for the Bulls translates to only one issue — the team’s position in the final standings for draft-lottery odds.
With Friday’s 127-103 loss to the Orlando Magic at the United Center, the Bulls are now separated by one game from the Milwaukee Bucks, who beat the Brooklyn Nets. With a win or a Bucks loss Sunday, the Bulls would clinch the ninth-best odds in the draft lottery, which would afford them a 20. 3% chance of landing a top-four pick.
The only other notable occurrence in the game — in which Leonard Miller played 39 minutes and Tre Jones scored a team-high 23 points — was that star forward Matas Buzelis rolled his right ankle in the second half. The forward was able to walk to the locker room on his own. After the game, he said he did not anticipate a serious injury.
