The Los Angeles Lakers (27-17) visit the Chicago Bulls (23-22) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Monday, January 26, at the United Center.

The Bulls aim to extend their impressive four-game winning streak at home when they host the Lakers on Monday. Recently, they secured a thrilling 114-111 victory over the Boston Celtics, highlighted by a game-winning three-pointer from Kevin Huerter with just 0.2 seconds remaining.

It was a balanced offensive attack for the Bulls, as eight of their players scored in double digits. Coby White led their charge with 22 points and 7 assists. 

The Bulls are relatively healthy at this stage of the season. However, they'll miss their reliable backup guard Tre Jones, who is recovering from a hamstring injury.

As for the Lakers, they've won three of their last four games and are in the middle of an eight-game road trip. Their most recent win was a resilient 116-110 comeback victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

Luka Doncic came up big in the win, scoring a game-high 33 points in his return to Dallas. 

The Lakers are still without star guard Austin Reaves, who is dealing with a calf injury. Jake LaRavia is also listed as day-to-day in the team's injury report.
