The Los Angeles Lakers received a major boost ahead of their game against the Chicago Bulls as their team plane successfully departed for Chicago despite a widespread winter storm. The update cleared concerns over a possible postponement.

The Bulls swept the Lakers in last season's series and are 6-4 in the past 10 games between the teams. Vucevic has posted six double-doubles in his last 10 games versus Los Angeles. Doncic averaged 29.5 points in two games against Chicago last season. He has scored no fewer than 24 points in 12 games this month.

The Chicago Bulls will, once again, be without one of their best guards, as the team announced a new injury for Tre Jones on Friday.

The Chicago Bulls could hear out offers from the Minnesota Timberwolves for three different guards. Which deal makes the most sense?

The Celtics are 4-5 ATS with a rest disadvantage, per TeamRankings.com. Coming off a double-overtime win Friday on the road, they could have exhausted legs in this one. Boston is 4-5 ATS in its last 9 outings.

"The Timberwolves pursuing Coby White with an offer around Mike Conley, Terrence Shannon Jr., and multiple second-round picks is a deadline deal worth monitoring. Minnesota and Chicago have reportedly remained in contact as the Wolves search the marketplace for a combo guard."
