Here's everything you need to know before the San Antonio Spurs host the Chicago Bulls:
The Chicago Bulls are locked in a dead heat with the Milwaukee Bucks for the ninth-best odds in the NBA Draft Lottery.
With eight games remaining in the 2025-26 regular season, both the Bulls and Bucks have a 29-45 overall record. Each of the two underperforming squads has already been eliminated from postseason contention, so the primary objective for the season's final weeks seems to be increasing their odds of winning the lottery as much as possible.
The Bulls have lost three consecutive games and five of their last six, while the Bucks have dropped four in a row. The difference between the ninth-best and 10th-best lottery odds may seem minuscule on paper — 0.1% increase of winning and 0.4% increase of landing in the top four — but the star-studded talent in the upcoming NBA Draft means every percentage point is crucial in helping select one of the coveted prospects.
Chicago's tanking efforts will receive a major boost on Monday from the San Antonio Spurs, who are currently in pursuit of the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. Led by MVP candidate Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs have won eight consecutive games and are just 2.5 games behind the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder.
