The Los Angeles Lakers have had an impressive start to the 2016-2017 NBA season, picking up wins over the likes of the Atlanta Hawks, Houston Rockets, and Golden State Warriors. However, they are currently in the midst of a difficult six-game stretch, and with victories hard to come by, Los Angeles is hoping to come out on top against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night.
D’Angelo Russell is back in action after missing the last outing against the San Antonio Spurs with a sore knee, which means the Lakers will be back to full strength. The Bulls, on the other hand, will be without the services of Dwyane Wade, who is sitting out to rest on the second night of a back-to-back.
