Warriors at Bulls picks and predictionsPrediction
Warriors 102, Bulls 100
LEAN WARRIORS (-118).
In spite of all their injuries, the Warriors have still found ways to win. The Bulls, however, are on a 6-game losing streak that includes losses to the New Orleans Pelicans and Charlotte Hornets, as well as 2 losses to Indiana. Even with so many key players out, the Warriors remain the better and more reliable team in this matchup.
The Warriors are also 8-2 in their last 10 matchups against the Bulls.
This is a lean because Golden State’s injuries are more significant than Chicago’s.
PASS.
I lean toward the Warriors to cover as -1.5 (-105) favorites, but they are not worth the risk given how banged up they are. Pass here and stick to the moneyline instead, as backing Golden State on both the spread and the ML isn’t worth it.
BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).
With so many pieces out for Golden State, offense should be hard to come by, but the Warriors should also make things difficult for a reeling Bulls team that will be missing a lot of depth.
The Under is 4-1 in Chicago’s last 5 games overall and 3-0 in its last 3 home outings. For the Warriors, the Under is 4-1 in their last 5 games.
With Chicago’s defense struggling and the Over going 7-3 in the last 10 matchups between these teams, there is some risk here.
