The Lakers were unable to fend off the Bulls despite LeBron James’ return. The veteran came off the bench only for the second time in his decorated 20-year career, but his presence wasn’t enough for LA to close out the game.

Both teams are still in playoff contention, and the Lakers will be thanking the Charlotte Hornets for being party poopers and pegging back the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder to help LA get to ninth in the Western Conference standings.

The Bulls head to this contest on the back of a loss to the LA Clippers. It cost them a spot, as they are now tenth in the East with a 36-39 record. A win on Wednesday will propel them and won’t necessarily bail them out of the play-in spot they are in, but it does take them closer to hanging on to a postseason berth.

With a lot to play for both sides, here is a look at the expected starters, the injury reports from both camps, and the predictions ahead of the marquee clash.


Chicago Bulls Expected Lineups And Injuries Updates

The Bulls will be without Javonte Green (knee), who is listed as questionable. Also on the list is Alex Caruso (foot). Lonzo Ball, as reported earlier, is out for the remainder of this season and a majority of the next as well.

Expect the hosts to go with the same starting five from their last game. Patrick Beverley (G), Zach LaVine (G), DeMar DeRozan (F). Patrick Williams (F), and Nikola Vucevic (C).


Los Angeles Lakers Expected Lineups And Injuries Updates

The Lakers may see D’Angelo Russell suit up for the Lakers this game. According to ESPN’s updated injury report, the guard was listed as probable for the Wednesday matchup along with Anthony Davis.

LeBron James was listed as questionable, while Mo Bamba will continue to be sidelined. D’Angelo Russell (G), Dennis Schroder (G), Troy Brown Jr. (F). Jarred Vanderbilt (F) and Anthony Davis (C) be the starting five for the Lakers.


Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Lakers Predictions

Fatigue will be a concern for the Bulls as they play their third game in four days. While they have been impressive in patches, they are primarily dependent on the likes of LaVine and DeRozan to do the bulk of the scoring.

The Lakers likewise will rely heavily on Davis and hope that Russell will bring in some artillery against a stern Bulls defense. Their bigger advantage is that they are well-rested, and should James spring off the bench again, their offense does get more teeth and help them pull away from hosts.

LA’s bench comes off as a bit more superior and experienced, with Malik Beasley, Lonnie Walker IV, and Austin Reaves — all having good outings this season at various parts of the season. As far as predictions go, expect the Lakers to tie this series and cement their playoff position better.
