Lebron Questionable For Bulls Matchup

The LA Lakers are coming off an 11-point loss against their rivals, the LA Clippers, handing the Lakers their 13th loss in the last 20 games. LA will host the Chicago Bulls tomorrow night in a bid to turn the season around, but Lebron James is questionable with an ankle injury. The Lakers still rely heavily on the 39-year old James, and without him they are 2-3, while averaging 118.0 points for and 121.2 points against. Thankfully for the Lakers, they’re facing a Bulls team that’s 7-14 on the road, and will be without Zach LaVine. 

The Lakers have been disappointing this season, but they can beat the Bulls, and I’m taking LA in this one. The Bulls are nothing special. They average the 2nd-fewest points per game in the East (110.6), and are 3-6 on the road without Zach LaVine. LaVine averages 19.5 points per game, and without him, the already scoring challenged Bulls will struggle even more. The Lakers aren’t don’t have much to brag about either, but at home LA is 16-8, giving them the edge they need to beat Chicago.     

So for our Bulls vs. Lakers expert pick, take the LA Lakers on Thursday.
