Odds of every NBA team winning 2021-22 title: Chicago Bulls +6000

Ding, ding, ding.

Bettors, pay attention.

The Chicago Bulls look like an absolute steal at +6000. Although Chicago has been a dumpster fire for years, they’ve revamped and remade their entire team. All-Star Zach LaVine has a ton of help around him in DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Nikola Vucevic. The argument can easily be made that all four of those previously mentioned names can make an All-Star roster this year.

Defensively, the Bulls will have to figure things out. Outside of Ball and Alex Caruso, the Bulls new players have never been known as stoppers. Heck, they aren’t even known for giving much effort on that side of the ball but that’ll have to change if they want to make some serious headlines.

On the glamorous side of the court, the Bulls are going to overwhelm teams. DeRozan, Vucevic, and LaVine have all averaged over 20 points per game at numerous points during their careers. Ball isn’t as prolific but he did average over 14 points a game last season. The Bulls also have a pretty good looking bench. Coby White, their former starting point guard, is going to come into games and light up the scoreboard. So will Patrick Williams.

Oddsmakers have made the Nets overwhelming favorites and they deserve it but with Kyrie Irving out of the mix for the New York based squad for the foreseeable future, if the Bulls and Nets matched up today, we’d favor the Bulls.

So what should bettors do? Well, at +6000 maybe you guys should sit down and think about throwing a piece of change on them.
