Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
Chicago enters play with a 21-24 record
The Bulls have two of their last three games and have not played since Monday night in a game they lost 115-113 to the Phoenix Suns.
Chicago is currently in a play-in position as they are the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference.
DeMar DeRozan leads the Bulls' offensive attack with 21.9 points per game and 5.3 assists.
Chicago will be without their other star, Zach LaVine, who has averaged 19.5 points per game this season. Rumors are swirling that LaVine will be traded by the deadline.
Former North Carolina star Coby White has enjoyed the best year of his young career, adding 18.8 points and 5.0 assists.
Big man Nikola Vucevic leads the squad in rebounds with 10.7 while adding 16.9 points per game.
The Bulls offense has averaged 110.6 points per game.
This is a big game for the Lakers tonight, who are currently the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference.
The Lakers are a game under .500 with a 22-23 record.
Los Angeles most recently lost against the Clippers in a game that LeBron James did not play.
James has averaged 24.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and a team-best 7.4 assists. He is expected to play tonight.
Anthony Davis leads the squad in scoring with 25.0 points per game and 12.2 boards.
Austin Reaves has averaged a career-best 14.6 points per game while adding 5.1 assists.
There are rumors that D'Angelo Russell will be a part of a trade at the deadline. The veteran guard has played well, averaging 16.6 points and 6.2 assists.
The Lakers offense has averaged 114.8 points per game.
Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Lakers Pick
This is a Lakers line all the way, and we will trust the line tonight.
Los Angeles has played their best basketball at home, with a 16-8 record compared to a road record of 6-15.
Chicago, meanwhile, has been one of the worst home teams in basketball, with a 7-14 record.
There is a lot of pressure on this Lakers team, and with James back in the lineup, this is a great bounce-back spot against a shorthanded Bulls team.
