The Los Angeles Lakers tonight will look for their seventh straight win over the Chicago Bulls, as the two division leaders do battle at Staples Center. Former USC Trojan Taj Gibson has missed practice the last two days, and is listed as questionable tonight. Here are the probable starting lineups and injury reports for both teams:
Bulls
Point Guard: Derrick Rose
Shooting Guard: Keith Bogans
Small Forward: Luol Deng
Power Forward: Taj Gibson
Center: Joakim Noah
Carlos Boozer, who hasn't yet played this season, is still out recovering from surgery on his right hand. Gibson is listed as questionable with a right ankle injury, and will be a game time decision.
Lakers
Point Guard: Derek Fisher
Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant
Small Forward: Ron Artest
Power Forward: Lamar Odom
Center: Pau Gasol
The usual suspects, Andrew Bynum and Theo Ratliff, are out, obviously, and Odom is listed as probable with a sore right foot. That seems like more of a formality than anything, since Odom will play. Tonight's 7:30 p.m. game will be televised by Fox Sports West.
