Chicago at Los Angeles

Chicago does everything well, #9 in the NBA in points allowed, #3 in rebounds and #8 in field goal shooting defense. How good? They just took down Golden State 113-111, as a dog last night. Joakim Noah had 18 points, 15 rebounds and six assists for Chicago, which held a 61-48 rebounding advantage and limited the NBA's top shooting team to 42.5% to win for the third time in four games. Pau Gasol is averaging 18.3 points, a team-leading 11.9 rebounds and was named to his fifth All-Star team this season. The Bulls are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games. They face an LA Lakers team that is a mess - #29 in points allowed and are without star Kobe Bryant. LA is on a 1-7-1 ATS run, including 1-4 ATS at home. Lay the points on Chicago.
