Chicago at Los Angeles

The Lakers shoot 49.8 percent from the floor. That is the highest mark in the NBA. Now the Lakers get the Bulls at home. Chicago ranks 25th both defensively and in 3-point defense. LA torched the Bulls for 129 points in a 129-118 road win on Jan. 26. That game went OVER by 11.5 points. Luka Doncic scored 46 points in that contest. That was the second-most points he has scored in a game this season. The Lakers have reached at least 120 points in four of their last seven games. Chicago beat Golden State on the road, 130-124, in overtime during its last game two days ago. Matas Buzelis scored a career-high 41 points, while Josh Giddey added 21 points and 17 assists in that game for Chicago. The Bulls are respectable offensively with those two. LeBron James is questionable for the Lakers and guard Marcus Smart is doubtful. It is a plus for the UNDER if Smart doesn't play since he is a much better defender than scorer. Take the OVER.
