The Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls are playing on Monday night and the game will be streaming online from the United Center and the matchup starts at 8 pm and they are coming into the game after winning against the Raptors and they play against the Heat next in the road and the matchup has both Derrick Rose and Kobe Bryant missing.
The game on Monday has two teams under .500 this season and the team is playing next on the road against the Miami Heat and the Lakers come into the game ranked 16th in scoring with 100 points per game and they are allowing over 100 this season and while they are ranked 19th in rebounding, Pau Gasol has been playing much better and the team is fourth in the pacific division this year and Nick Young led the way with 29 points and Gasol had nine rebounds while Kendall Marshall had 11 assists and he has been playing better with Steve Nash also out of the lineup.
The Bulls are just one game under .500 and they are coming into the matchup after a win over the Philadelphia 76ers and Joakim Noah has been leading the way with Derrick Rose out and Luol Deng gone and the team is ranked in the top 10 in rebounding. The team is 29th in scoring with 92 points per game and are allowing that many to rank second in the league and the team next plays on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers and despite having a rough season so far, the team is right in the middle of things in the east and they still have the chance to make a playoff run and while they were expected to contend for a championship this season, the team still can be a tough matchup in the postseason like they were last year in the first round when they won in seven games against the Brooklyn Nets and one game against the Heat without Rose.
