25. Chicago Bulls (16-27)

There’s no question that the Chicago Bulls have been a different team ever since Nikola Mirotic returned to the lineup. The problem with that, of course, is that the team will likely trade him in the coming weeks.

Well, if you’re on team tank that’s a good thing. But if you feel that Chicago, which is seven games back of the 8th seed in the East, could make a playoff push that’s bad news.

The Bulls welcomed the return of Zach LaVine to the lineup this weekend, so that should some more good news. And it should give them another shot in the arm.
