The 2019 NBA All-Star is also shooting a tremendous 46.6% from the field and 39.1% from the three-point range.
Right now, the Lakers are playing well and are 7-3 in their last ten games (and on a three-game winning streak).
They come into the day as the eighth seed in the Western Conference with a 37-37 record in 74 games.
At home, the Lakers have been good, going 21-17 in the 38 games they have hosted in Los Angeles, California.
They are just 1.5 games back of the Golden State Warriors for the sixth seed (the final guaranteed playoff spot).
As for the Bulls, they are the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 35-38 record in 73 games.
They are 6-4 in their last ten games and in the final play-in tournament spot.
However, the Bulls have struggled in a big way on the road, going just 15-21 in the 36 games they have played away from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
