Christmas Day in the NBA

Lakers at Bulls – 8 p.m., TNT This is a marquee matchup in name only. The Bulls are still anywhere from very decent (without Derrick Rose) to excellent (with him), but the Lakers are an awful mess, their surprise win over Golden State on Tuesday night notwithstanding. Kobe Bryant has always played a good villain, but it’s hard to even muster the energy to root against him anymore. The Bulls are 10-point favorites for a reason. Excitement scale: 4 out of 10 Reason to watch: Lakers schadenfreude. (AP Photo/Chris Carlson)
