The Chicago Bulls and the Golden State Warriors collide at the Chase Center on Friday night.

The Chicago Bulls have been in red-hot form as they’ve won eight of their first 11 games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after taking down the Mavericks in a 117-107 home win on Wednesday. Zach LaVine led the team with 23 points on eight of 12 shooting, Lonzo Ball added 21 points with six assists, Nikola Vucevic tallied 18 points with 10 rebounds and four assists while DeMar DeRozan chipped in with 17 points and six assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 50 percent from the field and 15 of 31 from the 3-point line as they held the Mavericks to just 21 points in the second quarter to take the early lead into halftime, before pouring in 34 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 18 points.

Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been on a tear this season as they’ve won 10 of their first 11 games overall and they be looking to build on their current six-game win streak after routing the Timberwolves in a 123-110 home win on Wednesday. Andrew Wiggins led the team with 35 points on 14 of 19 shooting, Stephen Curry added 25 points with six assists, Jordan Poole added 14 points while Kevon Looney chipped in with 11 points and 17 rebounds. As a team, the Warriors shot 47 percent from the field and 11 of 40 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 69 points in the first half to lead by as many as 20 points early on before going on a pivotal 13-3 run in the fourth quarter to put the game to bed early.

Looking at the betting trends, the Bulls are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games, 4-1 ATS in their last five games as an underdog and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. The Warriors are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 home games, 4-0 ATS in their last four games against a team with a winning record and 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall.

Head to head, the Bulls are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings overall and the Bulls are 5-16 ATS in the last 21 meetings in Golden State.

The Bulls have been in great shape lately and they would’ve taken so much confidence from their win over the Mavericks, but they will be shorthanded once again as Nikola Vucevic remains out. The Warriors have been the benchmark of the league as they’ve been running through everyone lately, but they too could be shorthanded as Draymond Green is listed as questionable with a thigh injury in this one. You can make an argument for either side here, but the Bulls are 5-16 ATS in the last 21 meetings in Golden State and I think that trend continues as the Warriors take care of business at home.
