Bulls

/ by Rob Schaefer
Bulls

The NBA released the first half of its 72-game 2020-21 season schedule on Friday.

While -- in a nod to potential postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic -- the league won’t finalize the second half of its regular season schedule until “the latter part of the first half portion of the schedule,” we can glean from the Bulls’ opponents through their first 37 games who they’ll match up against down the stretch.

Here’s the breakdown of home and away games for the Bulls from March 11 through the end of the regular season on May 16, as of this writing:

  • Brooklyn Nets (2)
  • Philadelphia 76ers (2)
  • Toronto Raptors (2)

  • Detroit Pistons
  • Milwaukee Bucks (2)
  • Charlotte Hornets
  • Miami Heat

  • Indiana Pacers
  • Atlanta Hawks (2)
  • Miami Heat
  • Denver Nuggets
  • Minnesota Timberwolves
  • Utah Jazz
  • Golden State Warriors

If all goes according to the league’s plan, the Bulls will face every team in the Eastern Conference three times this season, and every team in the West twice. The first half of the regular season is currently scheduled to run from Dec. 22 to March 4, then a five-day All-Star break, then the second half, then a play-in tournament (May 18 - 21) followed by the playoffs from May 22 to July 22.

The full order of the above opponents will be released at a later date.
