Chicago Bulls (+550 to win Group C)
The Bulls have two of the most underrated scorers in the league on their roster, Zach LaVine and Demar DeRozan. Not to mention one of the better big men in the league, Nikola Vucevic, holding it down for them in the front court. And when LaVine and DeRozan are going on the same night, Chicago is hard to stop. However, the problem is the lack of contribution aside from the Bulls trio. Following their first loss of the season, the Bulls had a players-only meeting to get their frustrations out. The meeting for now has seemed to do some good, as their issues from Game 1 appear to have subsided. Ultimately, if Chicago can get more contributions from their core, the Bulls could be a force to be reckoned with. But even with LaVine and DeRozan’s ability to score with the best, the Bulls could be in the mix to represent Group C in the tournament.
