Zach LaVine has been on an absolute tear lately, playing the best basketball of his career at just the right time for the Chicago Bulls. LaVine has been carrying the team on his back with the playoffs within reach and putting up some awe-inspiring numbers.

In March, LaVine averaged nearly 30 points per game and 4.7 assists per game, shooting an incredible 53.7% from the field and 44.2% from behind the three-point line. These numbers put him in rare company, and it’s clear that he’s playing with a level of confidence and skill that we have not seen since he signed his $216 million max deal last summer.

In March, the Bulls had their first winning record of the season, going 8-5 and putting themselves in a position to make a run at the playoffs.

Of course, the road to the postseason won’t be easy. With only four games left on the schedule, the Bulls are one game behind the 8th-seeded Atlanta Hawks and will need to win as many games as possible to move up in the play-in rankings. Their next game is against those very same Hawks, which could be a critical matchup.

If LaVine can continue to play at this high level, there’s no reason why the Bulls can’t make noise in the playoffs. His ability to score from anywhere on the court and create opportunities for his teammates has been a game-changer for the team, and it’s clear that they’re playing with a new level of confidence and energy.

Coby White Is Following LaVine’s Lead

Coby White has been playing out of his mind averaging an impressive 15.0 points per game and six assists per game over the last seven games.

After being involved in several trade rumors, the Bulls decided to keep White on their roster, and it’s clear that this decision is paying off. White’s defense has improved drastically this season which allows Billy Donovan to keep him on the court without worrying about him becoming a liability.
