5. Chicago Bulls — Dec. 13, 2018

Channel: ESPN
Reason for ranking: It’s in Mexico City, so it’s kind of cool, but it’s against the Bulls who aren’t, really

The first of the Orlando Magic’s two games in Mexico City this year, the Bulls and Magic are both expected to be bottom-feeders in the East this year and by December we might be able to tell. This game does feature some talent on the opposite end with newly acquired Jabari Parker, newly rich Zach LaVine and second-year stud Lauri Markannen, but it’s still an inexperienced Bulls team.

The one saving grace to this game is the fact that it’s early, but is it early enough to have any playoff implication? It’s going to be tough to tell until we’re there.

I am looking forward to seeing an Aaron Gordon vs. Jabari Parker matchup. Also, Isaac vs. Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr. vs. Mohamed Bamba could make for a fun matchup.
