The Los Angeles Lakers will look to climb further up the NBA ladder when they take on the Chicago Bulls. As the home crowd at the Crypto.com arena is expected to cheer the loudest, the likes of Luka Doncic would want to make the night memorable. With 43 wins and 26 losses, the Lakers are in a better position than the Bulls(30-40).
However, that might not be enough for the Lakers to secure an automatic playoff spot.
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Chicago Bulls: Prediction
The Los Angeles Lakers have once again tasted defeat. With an 89-118 loss against the Bucks, the Lakers will be eager to jump back to winning ways. For the purple and gold, Luka Doncic is having a dream run. He is averaging 27.4 points with 7.9 assists, and 8.5 boards per game. Austin Reaves provides him enough support in the absence of LeBron James. He has 19.6 points while Rui Hachimura contributes with 13.3 points.
On the contrary, the Chicago Bulls have been struggling significantly with their season. One of their key contributors is Nikola Vucevic. Sadly, he has only averaged 18.7 points per game. However, coming to the Crypto.com arena, the Bulls will surely look to set the records straight. Thus, with a lot at stake for both teams, the game will be an absolute banger.
