Table-toppers Los Angeles Lakers face 21st-place Chicago Bulls in this Las Vegas Summer League Game 4 tonight. The Lakers have won each of their three Summer League games and post a tournament-leading 50.7 FG%, hence our prediction backing them for a win.
The Los Angeles Lakers have enjoyed an impressive 2026 Summer League run. They kicked off their campaign with a 12-point victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder and dispatched the Dallas Mavericks by a staggering 21 points in the second fixture.
Cameron Carr scored a game-leading 23 points on 8-of-18 shooting to ensure the team maintained their perfect start to the tournament with a 99–85 victory over cross-city rivals the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. They have now won each of their last five Summer League games, dating back to the California Classic. Ty Abbott's side have also stood out for efficiency in this tournament, posting the highest field-goal percentage (50.7).
Jaylin Sellers' game-high 24 points fired the Chicago Bulls past the Washington Wizards 99–87 on Tuesday. That victory ended a run of back-to-back losses for the Bulls. However, they are mathematically out of contention for a playoff place and will face an even tougher test against a Los Angeles Lakers side that has yet to taste defeat in the tournament.
