Warriors at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Bulls 115, Warriors 114
Moneyline
Sprinkle on BULLS (+140).
The Warriors own the worst road record in the NBA (3-16). Golden State looked great vs. San Antonio Friday, but it’s too early to trust the Warriors to start winning consecutive games on the road. Chicago is 5-5 straight up as a home underdog and has a better chance at winning this game than the odds imply.
Against the spread
BET BULLS +3.5 (-108).
Chicago is profitable as a home underdog this season at 5-4-1 ATS (55.6%) and is in a good spot to cover Sunday. Golden State is just 1-7 ATS (12.5%) as an away favorite and may be in a letdown spot after a 31-point win on national television Friday. The Bulls will come out extra motivated to end their 3-game skid and should be able to keep it close vs. the NBA’s worst road team. Take the points.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 237.5 (-110).
The Warriors’ offense has been underperforming against sub-.500 teams lately as the Under is 4-0 in Golden State’s last 4 games vs. teams with a losing record. These 2 teams tend to play low-scoring games vs. each other with the Under hitting in 5 of the last 7 meetings and Sunday should be another slower-paced matchup.
