Frequently Asked Questions
Where will the Chicago Bulls finish in the Central Division in 2019-2020?
The Bulls are projected to finish third in the Central Division behind the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers. If they can stay healthy, they should have a much better record than last year's 22-60 and potentially make the playoffs.
Who are the Chicago Bulls counting on to be their star players this season?
Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen are on a mission to become top players in both the division and the NBA. Wendell Carter Jr. is also seen as an All-Star candidate in the Eastern Conference if he can stay healthy.
Who did the Milwaukee Bucks add to their bench heading into the 2019-2020 season?
The Bucks strengthened their bench by adding Robin Lopez, Wesley Matthews, and Kyle Korver. They still have reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the way along with Khris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe, and Brook Lopez.
Why are the Indiana Pacers ranked second in the Central Division despite Victor Oladipo being injured?
Oladipo is expected to return at some point during the season, and even at half his previous level he could make the Pacers a top-four Eastern Conference team. Indiana went 48-34 and earned a five seed without him, with Domantas Sabonis stepping up as the team's driving force.
How did the Detroit Pistons perform last season and what are the concerns heading into 2019-2020?
Detroit finished 41-41 last season, but the team is expected to take a step back this year. Blake Griffin is considered fragile, Andre Drummond is limited offensively outside the paint, and the team lacks enough supporting pieces to improve on that mark.
