0.5 unit on Chicago +255 (moneyline) (risk 0.5 to return 1.78)
Result:
LOSS

There is a huge void created when LeBron James is not on the floor, regardless of which uniform he wears. He has been out since Christmas Day and the Lakers are really struggling without him at 3-7. He just brings so many intangibles to the floor when he is out there along with unquestionable leadership. The LA offense has shot 43% or less in seven of the nine games without LeBron. The Bulls have lost seven straight games but mostly against playoff caliber teams. It should be noted that they beat Washington and Cleveland just prior to that, and have a good chance tonight vs. LA to steal another. Play on Chicago on the moneyline.
