The Chicago Bulls are on their fifth stop of the road trip, with their latest opponents being the Los Angeles Lakers. Saturday's game will be the first meeting

The Bulls, despite their poor record, aren't a team to be taken lightly. With 3:28 left in the first quarter, they're tied with the Lakers at 24-all. Doncic leads everyone with 12 points on 4-of-7 overall shooting and 2-of-4 from 3-point range, and he also has five rebounds and two assists.

Doncic undoubtedly picked up the slack in James' absence. After a three-game skid that started with the Lakers losing to the Celtics, Luka led the Lakers to three-consecutive wins. The streak came to an end Thursday in a 118-89 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks when James and Doncic were both sidelined.
