Chicago Bulls vs Los Angeles Lakers - GAME DAY PREVIEW
The Chicago Bulls will try to follow up their biggest win of the season with another one, this against a high-profile Western Conference opponent in the Los Angeles Lakers. Though the Bulls remain in 12th in the Eastern Conference at 11-17, the team seems to have found their groove of late, winning six of their last nine games.
Will the Lakers’ stars play?
The ageless LeBron James and All-Star big man Anthony Davis have been listed as questionable to play in the game that tips off at 8 p.m. EST at the United Center. James is dealing with a calf issue, while Davis has a left ankle sprain.
Los Angeles will welcome back point guard Gabe Vincent, who has missed the Lakers’ last 23 games due to a knee injury. A prolific shooter and playmaker, Vincent played a key role in the Miami Heat’s run to the NBA Finals last season. Also probable to play is forward Jarred Vanderbilt.
Can the Bulls sustain their momentum?
The Bulls are feeling good at the moment, and rightfully so. After all, the team is coming off a huge 108-104 win over one of the best teams in the entire league, the Philadelphia 76ers. Former Laker Alex Caruso will face off against his old teammates as the defensive stalwart is slated to play despite dealing with an ankle issue.
