The Los Angeles Lakers take on the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday in the Windy City. The team will have small forward Kyle Kuzma in the lineup, but they will be without guard Lance Stephenson and center Tyson Chandler.
Chandler has a neck injury, while Stephenson has a toe ailment. Kuzma is good to go after missing the previous two games with a right ankle sprain.

The Lakers won't be making the playoffs this season. LA enters Tuesday with a record of 30-36, putting them at the 11th spot in the Western Conference standings.
Superstar small forward LeBron James is expected to see his minutes be monitored for the rest of the season. The Lakers will likely ease Kyle Kuzma back in on Tuesday since it's his first game back from the ankle sprain.
In 60 games this season, Kuzma is averaging 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists. The second-year swingman is shooting 46.5 percent from the field, 31.2 percent from beyond the arc and 76.1 percent from the free-throw line.
In a dreadful season for the Purple and Gold, Kuzma's development has been one bright spot.
Tyson Chandler hasn't played in the last three games. The veteran center is putting up 3.2 points and 5.6 rebounds on the season. Lance Stephenson, meanwhile, sat out the last game.
