In their last games the Bulls beat the Golden State Warriors 113-111 and the Lakers lost to the Washington Wizards 98-92.
The Lakers look to avoid their longest losing streak in 21 seasons with a win tonight, btu they will have to beat a Bulls’ team that already lost to this season. On top of that they will have to do it without Kobe Bryant, who may be lost for the season with a shoulder injury.
The Bulls are coming off a big win where they snapped the Golden State Warriors 19-game home winning streak in OT.

Derrick Rose is getting back to his old self, as he has averaged 24.1 ppg in his last 8 games. He and Pau Gasol, who is coming off a HUGE game against he Warriors where he went for 18 points, 16 boards, and had 4 blocks.
Without Kobe the Lakers’ offense has struggled and in their 9-game losing streak they are averaging less than 89 ppg. They cannot lean on their D to win, as they only rank 29th in the league in opponents’ points allowed.
The Bulls have won their last 3 games facing the Lakers, including earlier this season in Chicago, and 6 of their last 7 facing them.
The Lakers are getting decent play from new players, as in the Washington game Wayne Ellington went for 28 points and rookie Jordan Clarkson went for 18. Not only is Kobe out,but L.A.’s 2nd leading scorer in Nick Young is questionable with an ankle injury.

The Lakers have lost 5 straight home games.
With their defensive shortcomings Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill have to play well in the paint and not allow the Bulls to get easy buckets inside.
