LiontipsLakers vs Chicago. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Lakers are having a hard time without LeBron James. Team's leader is not playing and it is not clear, when he will return to the floor. Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis are trying to carry the team by themselves, and they are finally starting to perform better.
A few days ago Frank Vogel's men beat Miami (120:117) in overtime, and then achieved the same result in the match against Charlotte (126:123). Then team suffered a heavy defeat to Minnesota (83:107). And, finally, in the most recent match Lakers left no chance to San Antonio at home (114:106). Anthony Davis became team's best player in this game, he scored 34 points and collected 15 rebounds.
Chicago is trying to play without Nikola Vucevic. Montenegrin player's starting center spot was given to Tony Bradley. So far he is not so successful in this role. In the previous match he tallied only four points and five rebounds.
Despite all the problems, Billy Donovan's men managed to record a victory over Clippers (100:90) in the previous match. But before that Bulls were completely outplayed by the Golden State Warriors (93:119).
Trends

Tip and bets
Chicago somehow managed to beat Clippers, but we are not expecting the same result in the match against Lakers. Reggie Jackson completely failed the game for the Clippers, the whole team was not looking great. Lakers will surely play at their full strength today. Vogel's team needs to beat the weakened Bulls at home.
Our prediction - Lakers to win (Including OT)
In two matches without Vucevic Bulls were dreadful on offense. Bulls failed to score more than 100 points. We don't think that something will change in this game.
Our second prediction - total under 220,5 points
