LAKERS -9 vs. BULLS
(NBA) Bulls (CHI) vs. Lakers (LAL),
Point Spread: -9.00 | -105.00 Lakers (LAL) (Home)
Result: Loss
LA needs to play better after losing big to the Bucks, but it won its previous three games, so momentum and effort should be on the Lakers' side. Chicago will have their attention after beating Sacramento and covering the spread in seven of its last eight games. Luka is probable and LeBron has been upgraded to questionable. I expect both to start, giving Los Angeles all the star power it needs to cover the nine-point spread tonight.
