The Chicago Bulls have their work cut out for them as their late-season playoff push continues. Here is a look at the games on tap for the upcoming week.

The Chicago Bulls 2016-17 season is rapidly coming to an end. With just 12 games remaining, the Bulls find themselves in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 33-37.

In addition to that, they will have to finish the regular season without Dwyane Wade, who sustained an elbow injury last week against the Memphis Grizzlies. That’s the bad news.

The good news is despite the mediocrity that has defined their season, the Bulls trail both the Detroit Pistons and the Miami Heat by just one game in the standings.

Taking that into consideration, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand it is possible for the Bulls to overtake the two teams ahead of them.

In order to do so, however, they will need to start playing with a greater sense of urgency and treat every game as if it is a must-win. Because, after all, that is exactly what the scenario is from this point forward.

Here is a look at their upcoming games this week.
