Anthony Davis led the way for LA with 25 points on 10-of-20 shooting including 1-of-2 from 3-point range plus 4-of-4 at the free throw line.

NBA Betting Trends

Los Angeles

The Lakers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games played on one day of rest. Los Angeles is 13-3 ATS in its last 16 games overall.

Chicago

The Bulls are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 home games. Chicago is 5-14-2 ATS in its last 21 games versus the Pacific Division.

Prediction:

Los Angeles is living up to the hype lately and will look to stay hot with a win over a struggling Chicago squad. While the Bulls have some young pieces, they have not put it all together yet and I don't see them having answers for LeBron and Davis. This one could turn into a rout quickly as long as LA focuses on the task at hand. I'm banking on that happening.
