On March 22, 2025, the Chicago Bulls (30-40) will face off against the Los Angeles Lakers (43-26) at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, starting at 10:30 PM ET. This matchup presents a significant challenge for the Bulls, who will be traveling cross-country for this road game, a factor that could negatively impact their performance.

Meanwhile, the Bulls, with a moneyline of +370, have an implied win probability of just 21%.

The Bulls did manage to pull off an upset in their last game, defeating the Sacramento Kings 128-116 despite entering that contest as 7.5-point underdogs with only a 27% chance of winning. However, the Lakers are coming off a disappointing loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, falling 118-89, which may serve as motivation for them to bounce back.
