The Chicago Bulls are nothing like they were in the 90's when they were one of the best teams the NBA had ever seen. Now the Bulls are a team that is going to be lucky to reach the 30 win mark on the season and even 20 wins this year could be pushing it for the Bulls. Now, the Bulls are going to be facing the Lakers, but the good news is the Bulls will have some stability as they just restructured Jim Boylen's contract to be the coach and free up some money.

The Lakers are a great team when they have King James on the court. However, when he is off the court, the Lakers have had some problems in getting the wins and have had the games show up as being a lot closer than what the Lakers would like.

The Bulls are not playing well at all on the season and it is definitely going to show up in this game here as the Bulls will struggle offensively against a mediocre defense. What is worse is the Bulls missed shots will definitely end up in the hands of the Lakers as the Bulls cannot pull down rebounds on the year. nor can they pass as good as the Lakers. Final Score, Los Angeles Lakers win and cover ATS 112-100.
