Frequently Asked Questions
How has Lauri Markkanen been playing lately?
Markkanen is on a tear over his last 15 games, averaging 21.7 points and 11.5 rebounds. He's shooting 40% from three on over 7 attempts per night and has clearly found his groove after a slow start due to his elbow injury.
What has Otto Porter brought to the Bulls since joining the team?
Porter is averaging 21.5 points on 14 shots in his first five games as a Bull. He's creating spacing for LaVine and Markkanen while also providing perimeter defense that the Bulls have been missing.
Will Jim Boylen keep his coaching job with the Bulls?
John Paxson still endorses Boylen and he's under contract through next season. If the Bulls continue winning, Boylen will likely stay, though he's been criticized for being in over his head.
How many games are left in the Bulls season?
The Bulls have 23 games remaining in their season. They're currently sitting 29 games under .500 after a disappointing year.
Why were the Bulls so bad earlier this season?
Lauri Markkanen and Kris Dunn missed the first two months with injuries, then Jim Boylen took over and made games look like bad Big Ten basketball. Wendell Carter Jr also had a season-ending injury around the time Zach LaVine started experiencing mid-season fatigue.
