NBA Power Rankings: Utah Jazz leap into the top-5

The Bulls are fully to the tanking part of the season, playing nine players in the 20-30 minutes per game range this last week. They were able to defeat the Grizzlies, their sole win of the week, thanks to a pair of free throws with 1.8 seconds left on the clock from Antonio Blakeney. They were able to keep things close against the Clippers and Cavs, but still lost, although both games were just single-digit margins. Denzel Valentine is playing better (on offense) and Bobby Portis continues to rack up stats when he’s on the court. At least Bulls fans can say that they have some confidence in their head coach, who doesn’t look like he’s on the hot seat any longer.
