Result: Win
The teams just met this past Sunday in LA. It was LeBron James' first game following a 13-game absence due to a foot injury. James played fewer than 30 minutes, had some rust and Chicago beat the Lakers, 118-108. That halted a three-game Lakers win streak.
The Lakers haven't played since. The Bulls concluded their three-game West Coast trip against the Clippers this past Monday night. This marks the Bulls' fourth game in six days. The Lakers are 5-1 ATS the past six times when playing on two days rest.
I see the rested Lakers getting their revenge catching the more tired Bulls in a vulnerable spot with Chicago home for the first time in eight days. So does the oddsmaker opening the Lakers a road favorite.
James should be back to form. The Bulls are 2-4 in their last six home contests with one of those victories coming against the Timberwolves in overtime.
The Lakers have covered in five of their last six visits to Chicago.
