While the Chicago Bulls did not have the best season, they still made it to the Play-In Tournament Game. Ultimately, they lost to the Miami Heat in the Play-In Tournament for the third consecutive season. 

The Bulls now, once again, have to figure out what went wrong against the Heat, and build a better team for next season so they can compete with the best teams in the NBA. 

In terms of winning the conference and the championship, practically no NBA betting sites are giving anyone other than Cleveland, Boston, or New York to complete that task.

Bulls Projections

Chicago needs to figure out what they have in Nikola Vucevic as they head into the offseason. This has not been an easy season for them, as they have often struggled. 

They finally rid themselves of LaVine and DeRozan and look completely different than the team they fielded at the start of last season. 

This is now almost completely a young team. Significantly, young players like Coby White can continue to flourish as building blocks for the future.

The Bulls seem to play better when they let White shine and give Vucevic more opportunities. Thinking they might win the NBA title is undoubtedly a tall task right now. First, they must figure out how to become playoff contenders.

How & Where to Watch the Bulls

For local Chicagoland and Illinois fans, this is how you can watch the Bulls at home or in person:

How to Watch the Bulls

NBC Sports Chicago televises all Bulls home and away games except when they are on ABC, ESPN or TNT, which will happen only four times this season. Chicago also has three appearances on NBA-TV, and all Bulls games can be viewed on the NBA App or on NBA League Pass.

How to Get Bulls Tickets

The ticket window at the United Center is usually your best bet because the staff can help you find the best available seats. Some season-ticket holders inform the team that their seats can be put up for re-sale, and the team controls those secondary sales.

Ticketmaster is always an option but there are fairly onerous fees, and the secondary ticket market is a matter of buyer's choice when it comes to sites such as TiqIQ or SeatGeek. Different folks have had differing levels of satisfaction with the secondary ticket market sites, which have widely varying fees. The one thing they all have in common: They do not want to sit on unsold tickets, and prices can drop precipitously in the final hour before tipoff.

Where do the Chicago Bulls Play?

The Bulls have been playing their games at the United Center on the West Side of Chicago since 1994. Be sure to check out the statue of Michael Jordan on the East Side of the building, closest to downtown.

Pending approval, you will be able to bet with the FanDuel Illinois Sportsbook in person at the United Center.

How Many Championships Have the Bulls Won?

The Bulls have won 6 NBA Finals. Chicago owned the 1990s with a pair of three-peats between 1991-93 and 1996-98 and was led during both runs by arguably the greatest player of all-time in Michael Jordan.

Since then, the Bulls have battled to stay relevant among other legendary pro basketball teams like the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, but they have yet to get back to the NBA Finals despite some solid efforts from Derrick Rose.

The latest edition of Da Bulls does not look it will end that championship drought anytime soon.
