Chicago Bulls 2021-22 NBA Schedule: Key Fixtures Against Knicks, Nets, and More

The Chicago Bulls lost their way after head coach Tom Thibodeau left the unit. For three years from 2017 to 2020, they could win just 31% (71/229) of their matches. But things started changing in 2021 when they marginally missed the play-in fixture. And just a few months down the line, the present-day Bulls are completely replenished.

Leaving aside the stars in Zach LaVine and Coby White, they have a totally new roster. Will this help them become as good as they were in 2011, and beyond? Only time will tell. But their schedule for the 2021-22 season can also provide some signals.

Chicago Bulls important fixtures

The Bulls will have a pretty easy beginning to their schedule. They’ll play the Cavs and Pelicans in the preseason, before starting their campaign against the Pistons. After four easy ties, they will face the first big challenge in the Knicks and then three weeks of crazy fixtures. Take a look at some of the most interesting games –

Nov 3 vs Sixers: This game is important given the 76ers topped the EC chart the preceding season. So if the Bulls can somehow win this one, it would prove to be a huge morale lifter. 

Nov 8 vs Nets: For obvious reasons, it would be a crazy battle to see the trio of Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball, and DeMar DeRozan take on the Nets’ Big Three. Moreover, Nikola Vucevic’s ability to uplift his defense work will also be on the line against the best offensive roster.

Nov 15 vs Lakers: This will be an interesting game mostly because White Mamba Alex Caruso will be against his former team for the first time after becoming a champion with them. Add Lonzo Ball to the mix and it’ll be a mouth-watering game against a WC team.
