Bulls at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 118, Bulls 109
Moneyline
PASS.
The Bulls are just 14-17 on the road this season and aren’t worth a play as a sizable underdog. Similarly, the Warriors (-320) have won 3 of their last 4 at home and are fairly priced as expensive favorites.
Avoid a moneyline play.
Against the spread
BET WARRIORS -7.5 (-110).
Golden State has covered well as of late. While it was blown out on national television Sunday, it has still covered in 7 of its last 9 games and in 4 straight as a favorite.
Curry is extremely consistent and should be able to find ways to score on a Bulls team that sits 16th in defensive rating. Chicago has failed to score 100 points in 2 of its last 5 games and could struggle against a Warriors defense that has allowed 105 or fewer in 3 of their last 4.
That said, back WARRIORS -7.5 (-110).
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 224 (-108).
The Warriors have gone Under in 8 straight games, but they have scored at least 120 in 2 of their last 3. They have only had a total this low once since the start of December 2023. The books are reacting to those struggles, but the Golden State offense is heating up.
The Bulls have scored 113 or more in 2 straight games and have allowed at least 117 in 2 of their last 4. They have gone Over in 9 of their last 14 games.
Back OVER 224 (-108).
