The Chicago Bulls (30-40) visit the Los Angeles Lakers (43-26) on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena.
The Lakers lost their most recent game to the Milwaukee Bucks by 29 points, although that was without Luka Doncic, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves. Prior to the Bucks loss, the Lakers won three straight, including a 120-108 win over the Denver Nuggets.
There's reason to be optimistic that Luka and Reaves will play against the Bulls. They're both listed as probable, although LeBron is still on a questionable case. With Luka, the Lakers have an 11-5 record.
Meanwhile, the Bulls have won six of their last eight games. In that span, they have increased their offensive rating to 117.4 (from 113.1) and defensive rating to 111.4 (from 116.1). Moreover, young guard Coby White has averaged 29.1 points and 3.8 assists in those games.
Plus, the Bulls are getting their all-around forward Josh Giddey back from a one-game layoff. Since February 20, Giddey has produced 23.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 8.3 assists.
The Lakers might still be favored in this game. But with LeBron still questionable, this could be a close affair with the Bulls.
