What to Know

The Chicago Bulls will be returning home after a three-game road trip. They will take on the Los Angeles Lakers at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday at United Center. The point spread is more or less neutral, so fans should expect a close contest.

The matchup between Chicago and the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday was not a total blowout, but with the Bulls falling 124-112 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Chicago was down 99-77 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Despite the loss, they got a solid performance out of small forward DeMar DeRozan, who had 21 points and seven assists along with five boards.

Los Angeles is out to make up for these teams' game on Sunday. They came up short against Chicago, falling 118-108. Small forward LeBron James (19 points), small forward Troy Brown Jr. (18 points), small forward Malik Beasley (18 points), and point guard Dennis Schroder (17 points) were the top scorers for the Lakers.

With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
