Lakers vs. Bulls (+10½)
(O/U) 194½
Tuesday, December 15 8:00 PM ET
Having lost eight of its last 10 games, the Chicago Bulls (8-14 SU, 5-15-2 ATS, 7-15 O/U) have plenty of problems of their own to deal with right now. Rumors are buzzing that the franchise is set to fire head coach Vinny Del Negro and the team has not shown much to believe in all season long.

The Lakers almost had the NBA Finals odds wrapped up with a nice little bow entering Game 3; they were ready to cruise to the title and maybe hit the golf course like those guys playing their St. Jude odds this weekend.
