Lakers vs. Bulls predictions:
Why the Bulls can cover
Chicago has won seven of its previous ten games, including a victory over the Lakers on Sunday 118-108 despite being 5-point favourites. On 13 of his 19 shots, Zach LaVine scored 32 points, and small forward DeMar DeRozan recorded a double-double with 17 points and 10 assists. In the race for the final slot in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament, the Bulls lead Washington by 2.5 games.
They have covered the spread in four of the last six games between these teams, giving them a chance to win the season series with Los Angeles for the second consecutive season. LaVine leads Chicago in scoring with 25.1 points per game, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists. DeRozan follows with 24.9 points and 5.1 assists. In its most recent games, Los Angeles has only once covered the spread once in its last six contests against teams from the Eastern Conference.
Why the Lakers can cover
Prior to Sunday's loss to Chicago, Los Angeles had won three straight games, placing the Lakers in ninth position in the Western Conference play-in round, one half game ahead of Oklahoma City and Dallas. LeBron James (foot) is doubtful, but they anticipate having Anthony Davis (foot) and D'Angelo Russell (hip) ready on Wednesday. James averages 29.3 points and 8.4 rebounds per game to lead the Lakers.
The Bulls lost to the Clippers on Monday, while the Lakers haven't played since their loss to Chicago on Sunday. Chicago failed to cover the 4.5-point spread after allowing the Clippers to shoot 59.3% from the field. In the last 11 games between these teams, Los Angeles has won eight of them while covering the spread five times the United Center over its previous six visits.
