Los Angeles Lakers at Chicago Bulls Preview & Picks

Chicago are tipped to cover as a betting underdog at home.

The Bulls are on a roll and just blew out the Lakers on the road, so if Ball, Vucevic and Giddey are all good to go, we like their chances of covering against an LA team playing for the second night in a row.

  • Chicago Bulls are 14-3-0 ATS in their last 17 games
  • Chicago Bulls beat Los Angeles by 31 points on March 22
  • Los Angeles Lakers are 1-3-0 ATS in their last 4 games
  • The Over has cashed in 8 of the last 10 meetings (1 push)

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Lakers lead the all-time series 113-79
  • Chicago Bulls won 146-115 when the two teams last met on March 22

Los Angeles Lakers Form

Los Angeles go into this game on the back of a victory but having tasted defeat in seven of their last 11 games.

The Lakers’ struggle began when a 111-101 defeat in Boston brought an end to an eight-game win streak.

They finished that road trip with three more losses, falling 111-108 in Brooklyn, 126-106 at Milwaukee and 131-126 in Denver, before snapping their skid at home.

Los Angeles beat Phoenix 107-96, and then followed up that victory by downing San Antonio 125-109 and Denver 120-108.

The Lakers failed to keep that run going, as they lost 118-89 to Milwaukee 146-115 to Chicago and 118-106 to Orlando, but they did rebound last night with a 120-119 victory in Indiana.

Chicago Bulls Form

Chicago enter this matchup on a good run of form, having burst into life with eight wins in their previous 10 games.

The Bulls began this run on the road as they beat Orlando 125-123 and Miami 114-109, before returning home to down Indiana 121-103 and Brooklyn 116-110.

That run was ended by a 117-114 loss in Houston, but they responded immediately with a 111-97 victory in Utah.

Chicago failed to follow that up as they lost 127-121 in Phoenix, only to again issue a swift reaction to a defeat.

The Bulls won 128-116 in Sacramento, blew out the Los Angeles Lakers in a 146-115 victory, and then downed Denver 129-119 in the final game of their road trip.

Verdict

Chicago just blew out the Lakers on the road and in recent weeks have been the league's most reliable spread bet.

They do have some injury concerns though, so we suggest checking the lineups before taking the Bulls and the free buckets.
