Result: Win

*3 Star Bulls/Lakers Total DOMINATION* The long offseason and uncertainty around the season leads me to think the beginning of this shortened year may have several low scoring contests. The Lakers are starting the season with a ridiculous back-to-back-to-back schedule. Mike Brown will likely give the starters more rests on the bench than normal in this one. The Bulls play solid halfcourt defense, and the Lakers don't have nearly as many weapons offensively now that Odom is gone. Bryant and Gasol are great, but who will be the third option offensively? These teams have a history of playing low scoring games. The under is 12-3 in the last 15 meetings between these two. Take the under.
