Bulls vs Lakers – 1/15/19 NBA Pick, Odds, and Predictions
Chicago Bulls vs LA Lakers NBA Basketball Tuesday, Jan 15, 2019 (10:35pm est) Current Odds: LA Lakers -6.5, Total Points 214.5

The Lakers have allowed at least 32 points in the first quarter of five of the past six games, prompting Walton to consider changes to the starting lineup.
“By the end of the games, we’re doing a nice job of stabilizing our defense and getting the stops we need, but we can’t just keeping giving up 30 points to start the games,” Walton said. “We’ll take a look at that and, possibly, make a change before Tuesday.”
The Bulls have one of the youngest teams in the NBA, including a starting five that ranges in age from 19 to 24. Boylen said he plans to stick with the same lineup moving forward.
“I think there’s some force-feeding going on,” he said. “We’ve got to learn how to win.”
The most veteran starter for the Bulls is point guard Zach LaVine, who leads Chicago at 23.6 points a game. LaVine, who played one year at UCLA, told reporters he’s looking forward to returning to Los Angeles.
“Haven’t played in L.A. in a while,” he said. “I’m excited. Hopefully it’s sunny out there.”
LaVine could see time against former UCLA point guard, Lonzo Ball, the second overall draft pick in 2017. Chicago forward Lauri Markkanen was selected five spots behind Ball out of Arizona, another Pac-12 school.
