Bulls vs. Lakers Point Spread: NBA Odds, Prediction

NBA Point Spread and Betting Diagnosis

Almost all the stats are awful to the Bulls. They’ve lost eight straight and they are up on your way. Chicago is 3-7 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 3-11-1 ATS in the last 15 against teams in the NBA Pacific Division. The Bulls are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against the Western Alliance.
The Lakers are 14-9 straight up in your home but have coated in only nine of those games. They’re 4-10 ATS in non-conference matches and 7-16 ATS when facing a team with a losing record. That is ugly.
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls have dropped each of their past seven, giving up at least 117 points in four of these games. This team has a listless defence which cannot stop anyone. Although they allow 111.0 points per game on the season (17th), they’ve allowed an average of 126.7 within their past three. This includes a beat down in the hands of this Golden State Warriors, who also scored 146 points against this group.
The Bulls have appeared utterly lost since coach Jim Boylen took over the group from recently fired head coach Fred Hoiberg. The gamers don’t enjoy his style and also have had run-ins together with him. Oddly enough, although the front office just gave Boylen an expansion and a rise. The team is just 5-14 under Boylen.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers are without LeBron James right now but they can not pin all their issues on his lack. They were 17-10 at one stage this year and are just 6-13 since. He has been out since Christmas Day but the Lakers fall started while he was there. More recently, this team has dropped five of the last seven and seven of 10.
The Lakers offence has disappeared without James in the lineup as they’re averaging just 107.3 points per game over their last 15 contests (23rd at the NBA). That is a huge dip from the 121.0 that they dropped in October (third in the NBA).
The issue is that this is a very disjointed roster and gamers are not growing. Kyle Kuzma is enjoying good but Lonzo Ball is contributing only 9.4 points per game while shooting 36.2% from the field this month. JaVale McGee averaged 15.5 points a game in October but is down to just 8.4 in January. And Brandon Ingram remains somewhat inconsistent as he’s scored 17 or more four times this month but scored 15 or less in the other 3 games. Add in that Josh Hart has only 17 points in total in the previous 3 games and lots of the fingers start pointing towards Walton he can not create the young players on this roster. The good thing is that the Bulls are a bigger mess and the Lakers should look after business in this area.
