With their play-in position secured as the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference, the Chicago Bulls enter the final weekend of the regular season with the goal of balancing rest and preparation.
Rest games could help secondary-rotation players such as Patrick Williams, Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White, who could benefit from more minutes. And for DeRozan — who has been struggling with a strain in his right hip and thigh since mid-December — taking a night off could allow for recovery that the grind of the regular season rarely affords.
Bulls players Zach LaVine, Patrick Beverley and DeMar DeRozan sit on the bench late in the second half of a loss to the Hawks at the United Center on April 4, 2023. Rest also could be key for guard Alex Caruso, who has played through a sprain on the top of his left foot for three weeks. Caruso did not play Wednesday in the second game of a back-to-back and has missed five of the last 13 games. Donovan said the main issue for Caruso is a buildup of pain when he’s forced to play too many minutes over a short time.
