Chicago Bulls vs Los Angeles Lakers: Storylines

The Chicago Bulls have shown some encouraging signs of improvement under coach Billy Donovan, especially in the offensive end of the floor. Their defense continues to be a work in progress but they should only get better now that they’re back at full strength after a prolonged bout with Covid-19.

The Los Angeles Lakers boast the best record in the NBA right now, also being a perfect 8-0 on the road. They’re coming off a statement win vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks and looked like the team to beat in the league, with Anthony Davis and LeBron James excelling as expected.
