Chicago Bulls

Lakers vs Bulls Pickswise Expert Predictions

Game Totals Pick
Over 235.5(-110)

The Chicago Bulls welcome the Los Angeles Lakers tonight in what should be an explosive matchup. Each of the last 3 games between these 2 clubs have cleared the combined 235-point mark, and recent form suggests this one could contain more of the same. The teams head into this contest relatively healthy, with Austin Reaves being the only long-term injury concern. The Bulls have recently welcomed back Josh Giddey from the sidelines. He has made an impact, too, as Chicago has won 4 straight. Over the last 10 games the Bulls have ranked third in the league in offensive rating — and with their star point guard back, they should have another strong showing on that front.

Both teams have had issues getting stops of late. Over those 10 games they are 19th and 24th in defensive rating. At the same time, both were in the top 10 of the league in fast-break points per game — which could really help up the tempo of this one. That should create more than enough possessions for both sides to take advantage of defensive lapses. With Nikola Vucevic and Deandre Ayton defending the rim, it is no surprise that these sides have struggled to defend down low. Over the last 10 games, these teams are 18th and 23rd in opponent points in the paint. With the Bulls second in 3-pointers made, too, they should have success scoring on multiple levels. All signs point to a high-scoring affair.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Chicago Bulls prediction: Over 235.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to 236.5.

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
