Lakers vs. Bulls: Lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Wednesday

The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

Losers of three of their last four games, the Lakers (15-12) will start another three-game road trip against the struggling Bulls (11-17). LeBron James and crew fell short to the New York Knicks on Monday, and they badly need wins, as they’re in eighth place in the Western Conference and just half a game ahead of the ninth-place Houston Rockets.

Los Angeles may get some help in Wednesday’s game. Guard Gabe Vincent, a gritty defender and hustle player, is listed as probable after being out since the early days of the regular season.

Chicago has been rumored to be close to hitting the proverbial reset button and trading some of its key players. But it shouldn’t be taken lightly. It has a number of viable players, including DeMar DeRozan, who is leading the team in scoring with an average of 22.2 points per game.

How to watch

  • Date: Dec. 20, 2023
