The Chicago Bulls might not necessarily need Zach LaVine tonight to beat the Washington Wizards, who have the third-worst net rating in NBA history. But having the services of a six-foot-five, high-flying shooting guard who is averaging 22.0 points per game and shooting 44.7% from deep is never a bad thing. Thankfully for Bulls fans, […]
