After winning three of their last four games, the Chicago Bulls are looking to extend their winning streak to two games as they take on the Los Angeles Lakers in the back-end of back-to-back games on the night of Nov. 15. The first leg of this stretch of back-to-back games came against star forward Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers on Nov. 14.

This is about the shortest travel time possible for a set of back-to-back road games for any team. The Bulls faced the Clippers at the Staples Center and will do the same against the Lakers.

This is an opportune time for the Bulls to face the Lakers too. Despite the Bulls coming into this game on short rest, they do at least get to face a banged-up Lakers team. Superstar forward Anthony Davis has remained healthy for the Lakers this season, but LeBron James will still be out.

The Lakers are also set to be missing the likes of rookie guard Austin Reaves, veteran Trevor Ariza, and former Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn against the Bulls. Meanwhile, the Bulls are set to be missing star center Nikola Vucevic and second-year forward Patrick Williams.

But the good news is that the Bulls should be seeing third-year point guard Coby White make his season debut on this night against the Lakers. That should help bolster the offensive production for the Bulls off the bench, depending on the type of minutes that head coach Billy Donovan gives Coby in his season debut.

The Bulls also have some players that are heating up of late that can continue rolling against the Lakers. Here’s a look into three hot Bulls players right now who can help this team beat the Lakers.
