What do the Chicago Bulls need to do to have a “successful” stretch run through the final quarter of the 2018-19 regular season?

It’s time for the Chicago Bulls to ramp things back up into high gear for the regular season to start back up out of 2019 NBA All-Star Weekend which transpired at the Spectrum Center, the home of the Charlotte Hornets. During All-Star Weekend, the Chicago Bulls did have some noteworthy showings namely forward Lauri Markkanen playing well in the Rising Stars Challenge.

However, it’s time for the Chicago Bulls to place the emphasis and focus on putting things together on the court. Things start to ramp back up for this team starting on Friday, Feb. 22 on the road against the Orlando Magic. At least the Bulls do get a bit of an easier start out of All-Star Weekend before the challenge really begins.

The Chicago Bulls are set to host the Boston Celtics at the United Center on Feb. 23 for a very busy stretch of five games coming out of the All-Star Break. Between Feb. 22 and 25, the Bulls have three games in four days. It all starts with that road battle against recently acquired point guard Markelle Fultz and the Magic and tops off with a tough meeting with All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

The main goal for the Bulls at this point likely is not trying to win as many games as possible. As bad as that sounds, the Bulls need to be positioned well for the 2019 NBA Draft lottery and to get some improvement under the solid young pieces already in place.

Here’s a look at the five bold predictions for the Chicago Bulls for the remainder of the 2018-19 regular season coming out of the 2019 NBA All-Star Weekend.
