Chicago Bulls vs Los Angeles Lakers: Current situation
The ascent of the Chicago Bulls has been truly remarkable. From a team that has been stuck in mediocrity for most of the year, they’ve now won 8 of 10 games and are looking like the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. This recent run has resulted in them taking over 9th place ahead of the Miami Heat, but there is no room for complacency with the Heat winning their last 2 games.
With the Memphis Grizzlies winning on Tuesday night, the Lakers have now dropped to the 5th seed which means they would not have home court advantage in a potential 1st round match-up against Memphis. LA has lost 3 straight games, they head to Indiana on Wednesday before heading to Chicago for a 2nd night of a back-to-back scenario.
Chicago Bulls Stats & Form
Coby White once again went off for 37 points as the Bulls ran past the Denver Nuggets 129-119 to record their 3rd win in a row. White has been on a hot stretch scoring the basketball. He is averaging 30.6 points per game in his last 10 outings, while shooting a very efficient 50.7% from the field. He had 5 and 6 threes in his last two games, so the Lakers will be well aware from where the danger will come.
Los Angeles Lakers Stats & Form
Just 106 points scored didn’t get the job done for the Lakers as they fell on the road to Orlando by 12 points. Luka Doncic did his part with 32 points and 7 assists, while LeBron James added 27 and 7 assists as well. Defense has been a major issue in the last 2 games with James back in the line-up. Head coach JJ Redick needs to come up with a better game plan in order to mask some of the flaws opposing teams are exploiting lately.
Chicago Bulls vs Los Angeles Lakers: Head-to-Head
Thursday’s game will be the 165th regular season meeting between the Lakers and Bulls. LA has a commanding 96-68 lead in wins, however it was the Bulls that won the first meeting by 31 points less than a week ago in LA. Neither team has been able to sweep the regular season series in the last couple of seasons. The Bulls last did it back in the 2021-22 season.
Chicago Bulls – Los Angeles Lakers Odds

Betting tip and prediction: Chicago Bulls vs Los Angeles Lakers (27.03.2025)
Despite having one of the oldest rosters in the NBA, the Lakers have actually faired well in back to backs this season winning 7 of 11 games in that scenario. Going into the game against the Bulls they’ll be highly motivated to not rest their two best players as the situation in the Western Conference playoff race is heating up. Slowing down the tempo would be a good idea for LA here, we saw what happened in the first meeting just 5 days ago when the game got out of hand due to the fast pace of the Chicago Bulls. Coby White will be the primary scoring threat from LA’s perspective, so expect head coach JJ Redick to throw multiple defenders at him. Without a solid job on defense the Lakers won’t stand much of a chance here. Normally they are an elite team when it comes to defending the opposing three-ball with just 35% of shots going in on average, but over their last 3 games that number has gone up to 38.8%. That’s one of the main reasons for this current 3 game win streak that they are on, so expect adjustments to be made by the Lakers here. Chicago has been on a solid run lately, but despite that they still remain just 17-17-1 ATS in home games this season. Luka Doncic has scored at least 27 points in his last 3 games vs Chicago, he also had a triple-double in his last visit to the United Center. Something tells us he won’t let the Bulls sweep the regular season series here. We are backing the Lakers to cover here.
