Bulls Prepare for Play-In Tournament, Hornets Focus on Rebuilding

The Chicago Bulls have officially clinched a spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament, but they are not taking their foot off the gas as they head into their final five regular-season games. Coby White has emerged as a key player, scoring 31 points in a recent victory and leading the team in scoring in 10 of the last 12 games. The Bulls are also benefiting from the addition of Josh Giddey, who has been a strong complement to White, recently achieving his sixth triple-double of the season. Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets are in a rebuilding phase, struggling with injuries to key players like LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. Despite their challenges, the Hornets are evaluating their roster for the future, with Miles Bridges stepping up as a leading scorer. The Bulls will look to build on their recent success when they face the Hornets, who have lost seven of their last eight games.
