803Chicago -3, -110 @ 804LA Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers have played short handed for the last few weeks or so and it will continue this afternoon in their game at home versus the Chicago Bulls. The Lakers have played well with what they have to work with, winning their last 2 games on the road against 2 subpar teams, Cleveland and Philadelphia, although they have lost their last 5 and 10 of their last 12 home games. The Chicago Bulls will pose a tougher challenge for the Lakers today. The Bulls are playing their last game of their current 6 game road trip in which they will try to finish the trip at 3-3. Chicago has played well after a straight up loss, 8-2 ATS in their last 10 and they are also 11-5 ATS in their last 16 versus teams with a losing record. Chicago's defensive ability along with above average half court offense should allow them to leave Los Angeles with a win before heading home.
